15
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,000

16
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: nothing on TV to watch between nine and ten, and

17
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: I saw on public uh public TV k e R

18
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: A k e R Yes, Public Television they had a

19
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,639
Speaker 1: only old people watch that channel. They had a two

20
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: thousand and seven concert from the Troubadour in La with

21
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: James Taylor and Carol King. Carol oh many. Carol King

22
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: was my favorite growing up. When I heard her song

23
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: I Feel the Earth Move under my feet, Come on, man,

24
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: that was one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard.

25
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: They sang all those songs from back in the day. Uh.

26
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: And it was an hour and a half concert, uh

27
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: from the Troubadour And I think it showed in twenty ten,

28
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: but the concert was in two thousand and seven. Uh

29
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: So yeah, uh, I got a little uh go back

30
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: to days, right? I think I still have it too.

31
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: By the way, I had her Greatest Hits album and

32
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: the same thing from James Taylor too, and it was

33
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: they were good. I would get I would get that. Yes,

34
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: I would get that Greatest Hits album. And I'm sure

35
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: while you were back in college you were drinking Boom's

36
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: Farm as you were listening to her and James. I was.

37
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't a wine guy back then. I could, I could,

38
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: I could admit that, but I guarantee you there Mickey's

39
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: about Mickey's big mouth. That was the worst the world.

40
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: You know what? I kept one of those. I have

41
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: one on my TV upstairs. Never opened. It's full God

42
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: knows that desperate time and hardly no money. Yeah, that's

43
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: what we used to call scunk beer. Right, Yes, well

44
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: I think being now bag so I wouldn't. I would

45
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: be too bad. Alrighty, Well here we go. Uh it's

46
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: uh what March second, we are one week into the

47
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: period where teams can uh tag players with the franchise tag.

48
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: One week to go March ninth, next Tuesdays the deadline.

49
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: So uh, maybe we'll have some news by then, one

50
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: way or another one I do our next show. But

51
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: at this point, all eyes still on Dak Prescott uh

52
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys to see if they can come

53
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: to a long term deal before they have to use

54
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: the franchise tag and not just use it to retain

55
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: his rights, but to stuff thirty seven point seven million

56
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: dollars into the salary cap come March seventeenth when the

57
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: new league year opens. And I guess we can start

58
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: there again since it's it's one of them ever since

59
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: it's one of those topics that just keeps on giving.

60
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: It just doesn't go away. And I've been listening to

61
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: everybody try to analyze all this stuff and the one thing,

62
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: and I think we brought it up last week. The

63
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: one thing no one points out is, you know, everybody

64
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: keeps saying, sign him, you know, they should have signed

65
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: him two years ago, just you know, give him what

66
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: he wants. And my question always is, we don't know

67
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: what they're asking for. What are they asking you know,

68
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: do they because obviously thirty five million year was not enough?

69
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: Do they forty forty five fifty? I don't know. Uh,

70
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, And I heard, you know, talk rady, is

71
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: it is it? Is it? Three years? Yeah? Four years? Yeah?

72
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: Because I was five, yeah, right, and I heard, you know,

73
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: I heard somebody saying, you know, they probably should have

74
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: done this two years ago, and you know, they would

75
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: have saved money. And I said, well, how do you know?

76
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Because you don't know what they were asking for two

77
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: years ago. You don't know what they were asking for

78
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: last year. And with with me, you know, I look

79
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: at the comparisons, uh in how I still I go

80
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: way back to when Emmis Smith had to hold out

81
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: to get his money and the next year Troy Akman's

82
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: contract was torn up and uh, Emmis Smith was immediately

83
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: underpaid on his team. After going through all of that,

84
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: then you look at Tony Romo who you know, wanted

85
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: Jerry's favorites, and how he made a big deal about

86
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: signing Amo, tearing up the remainder of his contract and

87
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: signing him to a really nice deal. And then all

88
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, here comes Dad and we got a plow.

89
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: And so as a black man, I'm looking at this like, oh, man,

90
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: come on, let's not be this fight. Let's not be

91
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: this stereotypical. Let's not be this this this predictable. And

92
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: and as I look at the contract and I look

93
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: at what they're offering, man, I could say, as a

94
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: friend of Dax, or maybe just a fan of Dax,

95
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: I would say, wow, that's a lot of money he's

96
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: just signed that, you know. But then at the same time,

97
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: as a as a former union rep and as a

98
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: former player, the devil is in the details. And so

99
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: the not confusing part. But I think the more engaging

100
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: part of it is that we don't hear from Dad.

101
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: We haven't heard from his people. They're sitting back taking

102
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: in offers, you know, but not really despise, at least

103
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: publicly not responding. I don't know what the capitaliz are saying.

104
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: I don't know what's really going on behind the scenes,

105
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: But I just don't want this to turn into another

106
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: Cousins situation, and I think I think it was in

107
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: Washington where they just kept, you know, coming up with franchise, franchise, franchise,

108
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: and then it turns into a volatile situation to where

109
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: no one trusts anybody in the outcome of not just

110
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: that position, but the outcome of the season is hanging

111
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: on these negotiations. So it's not like you're just dealing

112
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: with a defensive back and not to diminish my DBS

113
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: or any other position on the field. Okay, so shut

114
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: ups fair. So all I'm saying is as a as

115
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: a the quarterback position, as much as I despise the

116
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: overblowing of its importance, we gotta have somebody in there

117
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna right this ship for good. We gotta know

118
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: who we're gonna settle on. Is it gonna be Andy?

119
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: You know which? You know Andy's good? You know he

120
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: did decent when you find the guy's legs under or

121
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: are we gonna get back to see what that Prescott

122
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: can do? And once again, the injury I'm sure is

123
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: a factor. And on both sides, I'm sure Dak is

124
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: very stubborn about he's ready to go, And of course

125
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys they won't say it publicly, but during negotiations

126
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, hey, man, we're not sure what you

127
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: can do on that leg. We saw that horrific break in.

128
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Regardless of how enthusiastic your workouts are and how good

129
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: you feel about it, we may not feel as good

130
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: about it as you do. So therefore our negotiations might

131
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: be have a little different tone this time arounds past,

132
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: you know. And that's that's one reason why when you

133
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to sign a long term deal, do

134
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: not play on a one year deal because you never

135
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: know what might happen to you going into free agency

136
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: the next year. Do you want to take that chance?

137
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: And you know what, So a couple of points. One,

138
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: I think one of the positive points is is that

139
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: Dak's been here rehabbing, so there doesn't seem to be

140
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: any butt hurt going on on either side. You know,

141
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: he's eligible to be here rehabbing in the offseason. He

142
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: seems to be willfully doing that, so it's not like, no,

143
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm not going to show you you know where I'm at.

144
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys will have an idea of just where

145
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: he's at with his rehab, which is a good thing.

146
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: The other thing that I got curious of after we

147
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: did the show last week was, you know, remember last

148
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: July fifteenth, when the deadline was going to pass. If

149
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: you didn't sign him to a long term deal, he

150
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: had to play on the franchise tag and they're no

151
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: more negotiations. Well, the reports came out at the last

152
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: minute that they were close, that they were close to

153
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: doing a deal, and supposedly they ran out of time,

154
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: which I can't believe they ran out of time, right, yeah, yeah,

155
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: they had they had, you know, seven months right to

156
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: be able to work it out. So but if they

157
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: were close, then when you pick up negotiations, now, why

158
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: why aren't you still close? What changed? Nothing really changed.

159
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: I can't imagine the Cowboys offered less. Uh, they may

160
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: have asked for more. But if you were close, why

161
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: aren't you still close? And then there's this one. And

162
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: I know you, as you said, you were a player

163
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: rep and you had to deal with agents and things

164
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: like that. But just I don't know if this coincidence

165
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: or what. But his his representative, Todd France, who's been

166
00:10:53,679 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: negotiating the deal. I didn't realize that come August, early August,

167
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: he left his agency c AA UH and and they

168
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: said it was a sports business journal reported it was

169
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: a mutual decision. So he left the agency he had

170
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: been working for, and a month later he joined another agency.

171
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: Um it was called Sports Sports First. I believe it

172
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: was called UH. And It's like, so, was that just

173
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: a coincidence? Because I'm thinking agents probably have to give

174
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: a cut to the agency they worked for, right, Yes,

175
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: So I don't know, if you know, in the back

176
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: of his mind he was leaving there and he didn't

177
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: want to put money in an old agency when he

178
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: was going to a new agency, right, just food for thought, right,

179
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: you know. So well, I don't know. I'm not I'm

180
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: not accusing anything. I'm just pointing it out that this

181
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: did take place, right, So maybe now that he's with

182
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: the new agency, they can get this thing done, you know.

183
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: And it would be great if they can get it

184
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: done by by next Tuesday, so the Cowboys don't have

185
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: to start off the league year, you know, or at

186
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: least get it done by March seventeenth, so they don't

187
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: have to start off the league year or with that

188
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: much money stuffed into a new UH salary cap, and

189
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: we should probably know closer at some point, either later

190
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: this week or early next week, what the CAP's going

191
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: to actually be. You know, they they've set a a

192
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: ceiling at or not a ceiling, but I guess a

193
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: basement at one eighty at least the cap would be.

194
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: And I've seen some sites factoring the new salary cap

195
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: at one eighty five, So we'll see what it ends

196
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: up being, and maybe that'll help out. That's maybe holding

197
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: things up, so you know exactly what the CAP's going

198
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: to be. Plus they need a projection also for next

199
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: year because when you you know, work out the UH

200
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: the base salaries, you know, you base him on and

201
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: you continue. You used to base Hmond. Well, this CAP's

202
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: gonna go up, right, and it's gonna go up. It's

203
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: been going up ten million a year, so you're going, Okay,

204
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: whatever the base salaries this year, it could be X

205
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: amount of dollars more next year because the CAP's gonna

206
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: absorb some of that. So we'll see where this thing's going.

207
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: Did you ever have a law I got negotiations? I

208
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I was I was gonna say, you know,

209
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: it got just like anything with you always. Right now,

210
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 1: I can't hear him. Have you lost me? Have you

211
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: lost me? I'm still here. I'm still here. Can you

212
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: hear me? Can you hear me? No, I'm still You're

213
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: gonna assume he said something really great because I can't

214
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: hear him right now. But we know we'll continue to

215
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: monitor uh this as we uh as we go along,

216
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: and hopefully uh you know the two sides can come

217
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: together because you know what I keep saying is the

218
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: deal benefits both sides. We know it benefits the Cowboys, right. Um,

219
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: but anybody my, ah, there we go? My my airphones

220
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: have a partner on the air. No I knew I

221
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: had a partner. I was worried that I didn't have one.

222
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: I think the year phone plu're talking about? Yeah, so

223
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: I talked about about Had you ever had a prolonged

224
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: negotiation with tep Shram or Gil Brandt before you got here?

225
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: Everything is always complicated with ever some walls. You remember

226
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: came as a free agent, right. I bawled out my

227
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: rookie year from preseason all the way to the Pro Bowl.

228
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: Must have had about eighteen interceptions and all by the

229
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: time season was over. So the Cowboys came to me

230
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: in the off season, doing me a favor, and so

231
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: they came to me. From a thirty thousand dollars contract

232
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: three years to a they came up with another three

233
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: year deal and the first year was going to be

234
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: eighty thousand dollars. Well, gil Brand forgot that I graduated

235
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: from college. Now he may not look have much respect

236
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: for my degree at Gramley State University, but it did

237
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: me well. Speaking of thank you very much, representative representative.

238
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm thinking, Okay, so if I signed this

239
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: eighty dollar deal, eighty thousand dollars deal, I think with

240
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: the thirty thousand dollars signing bonus, I'm looking at ronniey Lot,

241
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor, and all of the defensive backs in the league.

242
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: I just left the Pro Bowl, so I'm gathering information

243
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: on what these salaries are in the Pro Bowl. Their

244
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: salaries up to one hundred and fifty thousand. Already you're

245
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: telling me to come in and sign the eighty thousand

246
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: dollars deal. I'd be just like em, Miss Smith. I'd

247
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: be underpaid by the time the Eagles dropped, Okay, and

248
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: that would be my raid. So I did just like that.

249
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: I held out for greener pastures in regards to finances.

250
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: They came to me again with another deal. I think

251
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: it was like one hundred and ten thousand on top

252
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: of that, and I told Gil he must be out

253
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: of his mind, and they sent they would send the

254
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: troops after you. So they would ask some of the

255
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: players to say something, you know in the media. You know,

256
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: Gil Brad would put his hinchman out there. Gene Starlings

257
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: came to me. Gene Starlings came to me and said, Evie, Evie,

258
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you. You know, if you

259
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: take that eighty thousand dollars and you put that in

260
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: the bank, shoot man, in twenty years, you're gonna have

261
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: yourself a million dollars. And I was just so flaba

262
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: gassed at the elementary tactics that they were using to

263
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: impression me into signing these contracts. So when you look

264
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: at it, I rolled the dice for two years, not

265
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: just one year. I rolled the dice for two years

266
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: because I was not going to be underpaid even after

267
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: I signed the contract. So yes, this was before you

268
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: got there. You came in eighty four, the middle of

269
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: the eighty fourth season. Yeah, middle, Yeah. By that time,

270
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: my damage was already done. My name was mud in

271
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: the in the management office at twenty four years over

272
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: twenty three years old, I had already ruined my reputation

273
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: in regards to good graces with the three headed monster

274
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: of text round, Gil Brand and Tom Lander. So so

275
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: wait a minute. So three years when you said eighty thousand,

276
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: was it total or eighty thousand a year? They were

277
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: going to give me eighty thousand with a thirty thousand

278
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: dollars signing bonus first year, and it was going to

279
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: go up I think one or five or one twenty five,

280
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: something like that, but starting at eighty thousand or the

281
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars bonus, and I just you know, it's

282
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: you don't have to be smart, Okay. Ronnie Lot came

283
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: in with me, the LT came in with me. I'm

284
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: at the Pro Bowl with them. So those are my peers.

285
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: I want to be paid like my peers. And I'm

286
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: using an air quote. I don't know why I'm doing that,

287
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: but they're really my peers. And so for me to

288
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: sit up here and sign a contract that would bring

289
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: me one ten including the thirty thousand dollars bonus when

290
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: they're already at one fifty and they their bonus was

291
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: a million dollars, not thirty thousand dollars. So when you

292
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: look at all of that, it's not hard to turn

293
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: something down like that, especially when I went eleven interceptions

294
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: the striker was coming up. I had seven in interceptions

295
00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: in nine games. My confidence is brewing, it's not adminishing,

296
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: and that's something that the Cowboys couldn't deal with. And

297
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm wanting to think what people need to understand. Back

298
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: in that day, the salaries work as public as they

299
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: are now. So Everson did his homework with fighting out

300
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: what other guys and it's actually probably a good thing

301
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: you did, because then in the strike, you're you guys

302
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: didn't get paid for the seven games you missed, right?

303
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: We did not. We did not. We did not get

304
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: paid for them. Let me say this, and I've never

305
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: Gary Myers Man put it in his book, but I

306
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: was always sensitive about lack of information, full disclosure in negotiations,

307
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: and management was always about lying to you about what

308
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: your teammate made because everyone was afraid to say what

309
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: they made. So I don't know if you remember Man

310
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: as a union rep. That's the first thing I did.

311
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: And even though Gary Myers and USA today I believe

312
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: capitalize off of that move. I made sure that every

313
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: salary was published so that players who were management lackeys

314
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't be lying about what they're making, and management themselves

315
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't be wouldn't mislead us about what our peers were making.

316
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: Everybody a negotiations and not everybody had an agent back then, either,

317
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: did they? No? No people, No, everyone had agents. Come on, man,

318
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: this is not the seventies. I came in. I came in,

319
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: made the one spans. Come on, man, come on that

320
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: stop himself. No, No, I made my own decisions. But

321
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: I didn't have an agent. I had Weinberg, who he

322
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: was ready to make trouble. Yeah, he was ready to

323
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: make trouble. Look didn't matter. All I had to do

324
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: was say sick him and he was going to get them.

325
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: So that's what you wanted, an agent. And what that

326
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: did was they put a lot of pressure on management

327
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: because now they couldn't be dishonest in their practices, at

328
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: least not as much as they wanted to be. Yeah,

329
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: they hated and Steve walk in the building, Gil Brant

330
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: and Steve Weiber could you imagine being a fly on

331
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: the wall any time together? And Steve would be like, well, no, no, no, no,

332
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,440

Speaker 1: it's full. Yes, it I finished the rooms, bags, the

393
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: rooms finish. Does that mean the popcorn's off? And you

394
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: painted done? I even got so far as paint the floor,

395
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: paint the ceiling. I did it all. But it's done.

396
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: It is done, and I didn't get in any trouble

397
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: because that means that I will never listen to you

398
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: when it comes to tell So you did a good job,

399
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: is what you're telling me. I did an excellent job. Yes,

400
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of myself. All right. Well, when I

401
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: need some stuff painted, I may just have to call

402
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: on you. We'll contract out. Yeah, you can call me,

403
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: but I want to be answered. That's okay, all right. So,

404
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: speaking of your your Grambling shirt, I'm just I'm curious.

405
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: I see where Jackson States next game is going to

406
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: be at Grambley? Is it next weekend or this weekend?

407
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: That should be this weekend, this weekend, this weekend. I

408
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: think they headed for this weekend. You know what, I

409
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: think it may because of the freeze. I believe it's

410
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: gonna be changed and the location should be at that

411
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: Globe Life a park. No way, it's gonna be a

412
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: Globe Life. Yes, it's gonna be because it was gonna

413
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: be grand the Cotton Bowl. My Coton Bowl was damaged

414
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: doing this. The Cotton Bowl was damaged doing the freeze.

415
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: So they're gonna be playing at Globe Life Park. So yeah,

416
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: that's gonna be pretty amazing. And I'm not sure if

417
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: it's this weekend or next weekend, but I'll be doing

418
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: a camp this weekend, so I won't be able to participate.

419
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: But now it should be pretty exciting. Dion gets to

420
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: come back home and and let's just face it, his

421
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: regardless of what you think about Dion or whatever he is,

422
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: he is a marketing genius. And I'm loving that he's

423
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: bringing that prowess to the Southwestern Athletic Conference to HBCU

424
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: football because you know, let's face it, we could use

425
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: the infusion, especially with the pandemic. I mean, here we

426
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: are playing ball in the springtime. I just let you

427
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: know that, you know, we couldn't handle the expenses. We

428
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: couldn't handle any of the choice that had to be dumb,

429
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: just because we just don't have that kind of discretionary

430
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: income to make those kind of adjustments in the pandemic situation.

431
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: So he would he should provide a nice infusion of

432
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: excitement and you know, exposure to HBCUs. And before we

433
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: move on, Spags, I want to it's another reason I

434
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: wore the Grambling shirt here, John Mendenhall. We lost a

435
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: great one, not just from Grambling, not just as an

436
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: HBCU athlete, but the entire Giants New York Giants family

437
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: and the NFL family you're talking about. You know, when

438
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: we look at this time, Spags, we are losing people

439
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: who were prominent names in sports and in all of society,

440
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: in all walks of society. And so when all of

441
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: a sudden, and I'm gonna get to him as well,

442
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: John Mente Hall leaves us who was just one of

443
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: those one of those names that when you heard it,

444
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: you never forgot it. When it came to football, you know,

445
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: he was a guy every game he played well, he

446
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: was rarely hurt. He was an old school guy to

447
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: where when you heard when you thought of New York Giants.

448
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: If you're a New York Giant fan, a true New

449
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: York Giant fan, he's going to be one of those

450
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: names that you remember that affected your childhood and your

451
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: upbringing in regards to being a football fan. The professionalism

452
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: that guys like mende Hall show that came from playing

453
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: for Eddie Robinson, came from the pride that he had

454
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: by being an HBCU player, coming from Grammy State University,

455
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 1: representing the swap, representing all HBC players. You know, these

456
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: are the kind of names that they're just they're just

457
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: leaving us, Spats, They're they're leaving us, and with no fanfare,

458
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, yea. And so it's it's

459
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: happened with so many different types of people. And as

460
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: we moved on to the Great Earth Cross, a guy

461
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: that was a pioneer UH in all of sports, one

462
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: of the first African American men to be on TV

463
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: in a sports UH show with Britain Mussburger. I believe

464
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: it was CBS Sports If I'm not mistaken, it was,

465
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: and he and Briton Mussburger go ahead, Spags, I know

466
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: you know it was. It was in CBR you know.

467
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: The thing I didn't realize about him and uh, and

468
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: he joined uh CBS. Uh and he also, uh you know,

469
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: was on NFL today The Great Show with Brett Musberg

470
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: Phillis George. Right. What I didn't realize about him is

471
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: he is from Hammond, Indiana. And just a little background

472
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: about that. Hammond's about maybe ten ten miles, no more

473
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: than fifteen from where I grew up in the South

474
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: suburbs of Chicago. And as a matter of fact, my

475
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: summer job working in the factory during when my summers

476
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: in college was in Hammond, Indiana. Right, So I didn't know,

477
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know he and then he went. He was

478
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: like an all Stars, all state guy from the state

479
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: of Indiana. And he went to Northwestern in nineteen fifty

480
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: seven and was drafted in the seventh round in sixty

481
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: one and played with the Eagles, the Eagles, and I

482
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: think it was the Lions. He played with two different teams,

483
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: and he went back to the Eagles. Uh, and so

484
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: it was the Eagles and Rams. I'm sorry anyway, yeah,

485
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, And here's what happens. So you know, when

486
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: when you're young, you know, back in those days in

487
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: the sixties and seventies for us. You know, when people died,

488
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: you sit there and go, oh, well they're really old, right,

489
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: you didn't really know who they were. But now, yeah,

490
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: now when you get older, you know all these people

491
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: that are starting to die, and you're sitting there going,

492
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: oh okay, I think, uh earth and then we were

493
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: disillusion ourselves and say, oh yeah, he was eighty one

494
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: and Mendel Hall was only seventy two. So you know,

495
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: and I remember this quote from uh Joe green uh

496
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: because uh, I forgot who was the last guy on

497
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: there still curtain to pass away? Uh? He was, Yeah,

498
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: it was Alc Greenwood and so those were his guys

499
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: right for the days in uh in Pittsburgh, and he

500
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: said something like and he said something right, you know

501
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: what happens when you get older is you lose your

502
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: friends because we're all getting old, but you're not making

503
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: new friends. It's like you hold on to those old friends, right,

504
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 1: but when you get older, you're not making a lot

505
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: of new friends. And he goes in, you know, I'm

506
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: feeling kind of lonely now because I'm the last man

507
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: standing from that. And it made me think, and I

508
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: absolutely when I talked to him. I told him, I said, boy,

509
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: that was so accurate when you think about it, you know.

510
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: So anyway, yeah, those those two guys, So let's do this,

511
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: um the rest of this segment. The Cowboys have seventeen

512
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: players that are unrestricted free agents. They have six other

513
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: guys that they are restricted or exclusive right free agents.

514
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: So the cow Boys do have the rights on those

515
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: other six guys to give them qualifying offers to retain

516
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: their rights. But they do have seventeen guys, sixteen other

517
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: than Dak Prescott. Right, So I thought we'd go through

518
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: this and just kind of real quickly, kind of say

519
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: yay or nay, or what do you think's going to happen?

520
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: And this list is by the amount of money they

521
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: made this past year. So second behind Dak Prescott was

522
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: Tyrone Crawford. Nine years in the league, came back from

523
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: two hip surgeries. He's unrestricted. I wonder number one if

524
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: he wants to continue play. And number two do the

525
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys you know, you got to get younger at some point, right,

526
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: you can't keep resigning thirty some year old guys. Do

527
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: they bring them back? Or I would imagine this is

528
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: going to be one of those market value ones. Right,

529
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: you see what the markets says, and then you see

530
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: what you know, what you think you can do? H

531
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: what do you think you gotta not only that, not

532
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: only his age, but I would love his experience and

533
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: the spirit that he brought. But you're also talking about

534
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: what two hip surgeries, right, Yeah, and so that's something

535
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: that you have to be aware of. I know players

536
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: want to hang on. We want to hang on as

537
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: long as we can, and well, you know, to be

538
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: so called put out the pasture, that's something that no

539
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: one wants to be involved in. But just from a

540
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: practical standpoint, that would be tough to bring him back, Okay,

541
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: it would be tough for me to make that decision.

542
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: At Next would be Sean Lee. Uh, it's gonna turn thirty. Lee,

543
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: Loving the Death, Loving the Death. Surprisedly came back this

544
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: year and did as well as he did. He was

545
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: always over matched physically. Now those injuries are catching up

546
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: with him as well as age, and I have to

547
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: let him go. Andy Dalton and this one, I think

548
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: we'll have a lot to do with the rest of

549
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: the league. Things of Andy Dalton, because I got a

550
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: feeling the Cowboys would love to have him back as

551
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: the backup corner. Yes, yes, I'd love to bring him

552
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: back for backup if he if he lets us, I'm

553
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: bringing him back as a backup right now. But once again,

554
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: if Dad does a sign, let's go Andy. Next is

555
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: the veteran offensive tackle. He just played one year with

556
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, Cam Irving, and he missed the majority of

557
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: the season, missed all of training camp, was hurt at

558
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, was hurt at the end

559
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: of the year. To me, that's the one position if

560
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: you aren't going to address it by the third round

561
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: in the draft, offensive tackle, then you got to have

562
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: You got to have better than Cam Irving as your

563
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: backup tackle, knowing that your tackles have had injury history,

564
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: especially Tyran Smith. And I'm not saying to give up

565
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: on Tyrann Smith. You know what I keep hearing is well,

566
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: he hadn't. He's missed at least uh three games in

567
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: each of the last four years. I'll take thirteen games

568
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: from him at his level than anybody as the right right,

569
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: But I gotta have that with with with with with Cam.

570
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: With Cam. It's a tough one, it really is. You know,

571
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: you want the big bodies fats. I mean we want that,

572
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: we want that player. Is he as good as he's

573
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: gonna get? That's the thing. Is he as good as

574
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna get? What we saw from him last year,

575
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: minus injuries or not? Is this all that we can

576
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: expect from him? You know, sometimes those big bodies, they

577
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: can do well for you if you can somehow tap

578
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: into their mentality to make them understand the game better,

579
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: which will make them better. All right, only because we

580
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: need offensive line. That's a tough We'll see. We'll see

581
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: where that one goes. And again, uh I see a

582
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: lot of people looking at the draft and looking at

583
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: the injuries. The Cowboys had a tackle position and Twatt

584
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys the draft and offensive tackle in the

585
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: first round. I'm not there at all. But by the

586
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: third round I would take a young guy and say, Okay,

587
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: is this guy good enough to step in and be

588
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: my swing tackle? Yes, like like they did with him exactly. Okay,

589
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: Next is Joe Looney, who had been the ended up

590
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: the starting center, but I think, be honest, is going

591
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: to be the starter next year. Uh So, if Looney's

592
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: good to come back as the backup swing guard tackle

593
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 1: I'd be okay with that, but again that comes down

594
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: to market value, right um, Alden Smith, Alden Smith, can

595
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: you get him back? Does he want to stay? Our

596
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: other team's gonna be offering. That's the unknown at this point.

597
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: Even though even though our defense was horrible, he was

598
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: one of those blank spots and especially spast when we

599
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: finally was smart enough to move him around exactly moved

600
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: him around on that defensive line, he was extremely effective

601
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: and those few shining moments that we had defensively, he

602
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: was a big key in regards to that and his

603
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: movement up and down the line. That was a big

604
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: key to some of our hard to call us success

605
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: on the defense that we had, but it did make

606
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: us more effective. So yes, for me, whatever's in saying

607
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: is yeah, they list him as a defensive end, but

608
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: he got some pretty good efficient snaps at defensive tackle,

609
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: especially in a past rush situation. And at his age,

610
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: if he's over Randy Gregory, with Randy Gregory on around,

611
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: then he should be. That was defensive and Gregory should be,

612
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, for a full season, And if you can

613
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: plan on that, then you're in pretty good shape along

614
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: with Dornsiders and you still don't know what Bradley any.

615
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: He really didn't get a chance. So from a defensive

616
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: end standpoint, you could be okay. This next one I

617
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: think is a no brainer. Blake Bell the backup tight end.

618
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: I think he was very serviceable and if you can

619
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: bring him back as the third tight end with a

620
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: guy that's very versatile, I'd have him back very versus.

621
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: I like that fast, very versais. I could see him

622
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: doing the same things that Rudolph was doing for the Vikings,

623
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,479
Speaker 1: who they had the other tight end that was playing

624
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: against us they lined up on the center. We can

625
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: do all of that with Bell because he was a

626
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: very accomplished running quarterback at Oklahoma. So to ask him,

627
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: I'd love to keep him as a capable not just

628
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: tight end, but he can do many many things on

629
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: special teams as well. Now here's your guy, Joe Thomas,

630
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: backup linebacker. Good veteran guy to have, right, Yes, he's

631
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: good to have, but we didn't use him. Wow, I mean,

632
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: let's let's not just keep him around for a veteran guy.

633
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: I'd love to use him more. And maybe once again,

634
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: we don't want don't let me go off on this

635
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: nickel thing again. Because I think I may have gotten

636
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: in trouble last week, but I just you know, I

637
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: feel that the guy deserved better than last year. And

638
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: as much as you know he may not be well

639
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: heeled in regards to a lot of talent, I thought

640
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: he feeled in well for us when we finally decided

641
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: to play three linebackers. LP Latticer no problem bringing him back.

642
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: He's still doing the job and the good thing about

643
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: him is he's willing to play for that veteran benefit

644
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 1: against the CAP, where you can give him a little

645
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: bit more, but he doesn't cost us much against the Cap. Okay,

646
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: now here here's gonna be a one that they're gonna

647
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: have to make a decision about chittaby A Woozier. H Yeah,

648
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. After last year and the injuries,

649
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 1: you kind of you almost ready to dismiss him off

650
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: the bat, because when you're with a bad defense, as

651
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: always is, and you you came back as a veteran

652
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: offer injury, and when you came back and played it

653
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: didn't make a difference in your defense, then you know

654
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: you're not really looking at necessarily keeping him. But if

655
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: the new DC comes in and feels that the woozier.

656
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: Can you help him and maybe put him in position

657
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: to make some plays. If he's attractive to Quinn, then

658
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: he's attractive to me. Yeah, that's gonna be I think

659
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: that'll be another one of those market value things. You

660
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: got to kind of judge how much it would cost

661
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: to bring him back. I'm sure you know he's he's

662
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: done with his rookie contract, and you know, can can

663
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: he cash in? Does somebody think, you know, one of

664
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: the other thirty one teams think he's worth you know whatever?

665
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: But if not, you know, if he wants to re

666
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: establish his market value, maybe you bring him back on

667
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: a one year kind of deal uh, and say, okay,

668
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: we can handle this amount now, maybe you can re

669
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: establish your market value for the next year. If you're

670
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: not getting a big a big offer U C. J.

671
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: Good one, uh, kind of a special teams ace. If

672
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: you can afford him, bring him back, uh. And again,

673
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: but a lot of this is market value. Same thing

674
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: with Justin March. The outside linebacker Jordan Lewis is another

675
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: tough one. He played, He ate up a lot of

676
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: snaps for you, played in the nickel. But again, how

677
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: much you know and and and in this especially this year,

678
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: that's going to be a determining factor for these guys.

679
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: I thought I thought he was misused a lot once again,

680
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: playing nickel way too much. You're asking me a slightly

681
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: built young man to get in there against tight ends

682
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: and the running game and pulling guards on his first down,

683
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: second down. We're not even talking about pass defense. We're

684
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: talking about first and ten, second and five. And he's

685
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: got to stick his nose in there, and he did

686
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: his best in regards to that. If you would just

687
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: if we could just keep his responsibilities to a more

688
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: finite level and stop trying to ask him to do

689
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: too much, I think he could do well for us.

690
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: I don't look at him as a starter, I never have,

691
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: but I do think he could be that capable defensive back,

692
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: that fifth and sixth defensive back that we need. Now.

693
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:59,479
Speaker 1: Once again, all of this is predicated on how we're

694
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: going to improve our pressure up front. If we can

695
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: improve our pressure up front, guys like Julian Lewis have

696
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: shown that they could be that guy to make important

697
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: plays for us, doing critical parts of the game. So

698
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: it has to be laid out for them just right.

699
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: So three other guys real quickly here that played significant,

700
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: somewhat significant roles. Xavier Woods, you're starting safety. Now there

701
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: was another guy. Everybody talks about his production, but they

702
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: weren't playing them at free safety that second half of

703
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: the season. They were playing on like a strong safety

704
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: that he was their nickel. He was there, he was

705
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: their strong side linebacker, right, And it's like, I'm getting

706
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: so tired of hearing the word nickel to see. That's

707
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 1: the problem. So tired of hearing the word nickel because

708
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: once they start using it so often, you're almost piecemeal

709
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: and where you're putting your players right, you know, goy

710
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 1: like Donovan Wilson that came along that really kind of

711
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: turned things, uh upside down for the old secondary and

712
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: there the high lucky the total pole that was established,

713
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: which is a good thing. That's why docthor Wilson was

714
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 1: back at safety free safety as opposed to Xavier Woods.

715
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: That's the way I saw. So if you're gonna bring

716
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: back a Xavier Woods, then Donogan Wilson needs to be

717
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: back there as well. Uh. Noah Brown, he's been a

718
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: guy that's been on their practice squad and he finally

719
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: kind of carved himself a role, but again, you're not

720
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: going to spend a lot of money trying to bring

721
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: him back as a fifth wide receiver. And then the

722
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: other guy in that boat is Cedric Wilson, who I

723
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: think is you know, uh but White. I take it back.

724
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson's a restricted free agent, so they can give

725
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 1: him an offer probably would give him a qualified original

726
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: draft choice because he was a six So if somebody

727
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: signs him to an offer sheet and you don't want

728
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 1: to match it, then you get a sixth round pick

729
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: in return, and another versatile guy as well player as well.

730
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: And here's another guy that once they put him back

731
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 1: on the field and he's restricted this year, Antoine Woods,

732
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: your defensive tackle. Uh, this guy should have been playing

733
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: from the start, messing around with don Terry Poe out

734
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: there and costing this guy's snaps right, and he's restricted

735
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: and he and he's he was not a draft choice.

736
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, if if you don't want to

737
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: match whatever you the qualifying offer, then you know you

738
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't get anything back for losing him. But maybe he's

739
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,479
Speaker 1: one of those guys where you just give a little

740
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: bit of money to and you sign him to a

741
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: very inexpensive two year deal, but he gave him a

742
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: little signing bonus to give him something to come back,

743
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: because remember last year, he didn't sign his exclusive tag

744
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: until the last minute. He was hoping that they valued

745
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: him a little bit more than h or at least

746
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: as much as he had valued himself. It didn't work

747
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: out that body, So so that's kind of the Cowboys

748
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: list here. Uh And when we return here on mix shots,

751
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: off in order. And when you get to a player,

752
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: you think the Cowboys would want you stop me? Okay, okay,

793
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: long time ago, right, Mickey Spagnola Walls. So I've got

794
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: Gil Brandt's top thirty two board and he's not suggesting

795
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: that this is a mock draft. Okay, like this is

796
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: the order these guys are gonna be picked, but he

797
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: ranked them in how good he thinks these guys are.

798
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna read them off and you tell me. Okay,

799
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys need that guy, right, So Number one Trevor

800
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: Lawrence quarterback. Number two, yeah, right, Number two ten a

801
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: Sewell offensive tackle. I don't know that they could qualify

802
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: taking an offensive tackle in the that high first ground. Okay.

803
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: Number three wide receiver Jamar Chase probably don't need that.

804
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: Number four quarterback Zach Wilson probably don't need that. No quarterbacks,

805
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: all right, No, we don't need any quarterbacks. Number five

806
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: is Kyle Pitts a tight end. That seems a little extravagant,

807
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: knowing that they have high right right. Number six offensive

808
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 1: tackle were Sewn Slater that was offensive tackle, was looking

809
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: goods facts Number seven Trey Lance quarterback, Number eight quarterback

810
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: justin Fields. Number nine, number nine Elijah vera Tucker offensive

811
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: guard in the top ten. I don't think I could

812
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: qualify that. Oh no, Andy, Now then we just talk

813
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: about the employance of an offensive line. I'm with you,

814
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 1: and we're dealing with offensive guard problems. Well, if Zack

815
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 1: Martin you still say no, just think if Zach Martin's back,

816
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 1: then you've got a combination of Connor McGovern and Connor

817
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: Williams to take care of the guard backup guard position.

818
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: And by the way, This is what I was going

819
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: to point out when we were talking about cam Irving.

820
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: The Cowboys can't mess around anymore if they get another

821
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: offensive tackle, hurt Zach Martin's got to go out to tackle.

822
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: No messing around with undrafted free agents trying to fill

823
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: in that spot. That's why I say, and that's why

824
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: when you name off these linemen, especially tackles, and I am,

825
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: I am intrigued. Yeah, you can get one in the

826
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: second or third round. You don't need them in the

827
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: first round when you have so many defensive Yeah, yes, yes,

828
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: think about think about the Great Wall of Dallas. There

829
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: was one guy that was drafted in the second round

830
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,720
Speaker 1: and the rest of them were basically undrafted free agents.

831
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: Right that they develop. Okay, Number number ten, DeVante Smith,

832
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 1: you can't do that again. Right wide receiver, Number eleven,

833
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: Jaylen Waddle wide receiver, and at number twelve on Gill's

834
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: list is the first defensive player listed, Jalen H. Phillips,

835
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: a defensive end number thirteen. Number thirteen is the guy

836
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:34,919
Speaker 1: I pointed out last week, linebacker Micah Parsons. Uh say,

837
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: I I really think he's awfully talented, But again, you

838
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: got to decide is he a three down linebacker or

839
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: two down linebacker? And he's another one of these guys

840
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 1: that you know didn't play last year. So now what

841
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: is your evaluation level on him? And now fourteen and

842
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 1: fifteen we found before you move on, before you move

843
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 1: on with that, you can also find great linebackers in

844
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: the lower rounds, right spag. It happens all the time.

845
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: You got humpy guys coming from small schools and they

846
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: coming to a big time program, but it's Cowboys, Pittsburgh

847
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: or whatever, and they make a difference. So you're not

848
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:21,399
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about UH linebackers in the first

849
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: round as well. I feel like that the way you

850
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: feel about the office offensive tackles. But what if this

851
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 1: is a generational Lawrence Taylor type linebacker, Well, then if

852
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: you say it is, I haven't evaluation, but I don't

853
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,359
Speaker 1: know you you you you put your stamp on him

854
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: last week. Be consistent. And the one evaluation I read

855
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: about him, and this was a guy's opinion I respect.

856
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:57,399
Speaker 1: He compared them to Rolando McClain. And if you think

857
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: about Rolando McClain when he before he had his off

858
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: field problems, this guy wasn't stud right big. This guy

859
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: Parsons six four two forty five, and he runs, you know,

860
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: he runs like a defensive back. So anyway, one thing

861
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 1: you have to have with linebackers bags before we move on.

862
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: One thing you have to have with linebackers. You don't

863
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: need just studs looking good, but they have to have

864
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 1: football instincts. Linebackers are like running backs. You have to

865
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: know where the hole is once the ball is snapped,

866
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: you see. So some guys don't get that no matter

867
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: how much how high they're drafted. You can find that.

868
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 1: And a guy Mit Brown who was just extremely intelligent

869
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: and was a leader of his team for four years

870
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: at I don't know, South, some Central university somewhere. You

871
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. We can find that guy. All right,

872
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 1: here's here's gonna be your homework assignment. You call up

873
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:59,879
Speaker 1: his film and I understand highlight films, they're all gonna

874
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: be great plays, right so, but his instincts in that

875
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: highlight in those highlight films to me were amazing. All right,

876
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 1: Now it down that we finally get to what everybody's

877
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: giving the Dallas Cowboys in their mock drafts at fourteen

878
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: and fifteen cornerback Patrick Certain and cornerback Caleb Farley Virginia

879
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: Tech and Alabama by the way. So that's how Gil

880
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:38,760
Speaker 1: kind of put his power rankings together. Now, well, Caleb

881
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: Caleb was a guy that he sat out part of

882
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: out also, yes, he did not play last year, so

883
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 1: you got worried about that. Certain with Ballom the entire time.

884
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: But he's got problems against speed. You know, sometimes the

885
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 1: fast guys can can get by. And I mean, you

886
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,720
Speaker 1: know how it was I had the same problem. Sometimes

887
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: you have to speed up your brain when you're out

888
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: there going against faster players. I have one for your spags.

889
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: If the Cowboys might want to sign, can I can

890
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: I mention this one? Go ahead? Honorable mentioned h Larry Roundtree.

891
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know of this young man. You know,

892
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: he's a running back from from what where is he

893
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: from a zoo? Right? Is he from a zoo? Yes?

894
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: But he'll be come on, what you think he'll be.

895
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: He'll be a second third round Uh Frank Gore, a

896
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: Frank Gore type with major doability runs downhill. I mean,

897
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: come on, I mean thirty seven carries against who was

898
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: that Mississippi State? Was it? Yes? But I mean, this

899
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: guy's a stud man, but you're not bringing him up.

900
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: Come on, represent the Tigers. He's not. He's not in

901
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: Gill's top thirty two. The only guy from Missouri in

902
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: the top thirty two, uh is linebacker Nick Bolton from Frisco.

903
00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: By the way, Uh nice, And but he's an inside

904
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 1: guy and I don't know that he's a three down linebacker,

905
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: but he's awfully good. He's got him ranked nineteenth. But

906
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: here's the deal on if you're trying to get an

907
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: idea of what people think of what's available in the draft.

908
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: We went through the top eleven and no defensive player

909
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 1: was listed right, and then between twelve and twenty they

910
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: were all defensive players. Before he had Alabama quarterback Matt

911
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: Jones at twenty one, and then the next guy at

912
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 1: twenty two, Christian Barmore, the defensive tackle from Alabama that

913
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:42,439
Speaker 1: had one heck of a national championship game. Right, No, An,

914
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: that's a championship year, right career. Let's just say, your

915
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: whole career was amazing, and I had him circled and

916
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: if that's something you would be interested in, then you

917
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: could probably trade down, you know, five or six spots

918
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: and probably still be able to pick him up. But

919
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: I continue I continue to see in these in these

920
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: mock drafts like Charlie CASTLELEI. Whatever you think of Charlie

921
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: and his player evaluation he had, he had Parsons going

922
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: number seven by the way, um, and there's some people

923
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: that had bar Moore going uh in their top twelve.

924
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: So uh, those are positions I think the Cowboys obviously

925
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on not only you know, cornerback, but

926
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: I got no problem taking a defensive tackle, defensive end,

927
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, linebacker. As long as that linebacker's versatile and

928
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: can play all three downs, I don't want him off

929
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: the field on the nick. Well, the draft itself shows

930
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: me that running backs are still not considered to be uh,

931
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, premium, which I still think. It's a shame.

932
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: You got guys like Naji Harris and Bama. I mean,

933
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: come on, who wouldn't take that guy? Another another Henry

934
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: in the making? Uh? You bought from Oklahoma State? Right,

935
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Just a guy that the one of the best, Travis

936
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: and ten from Clemson. Man, this guy he's done things

937
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: on the field that I've never seen anyone doing. He

938
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: reminds me of Cede lamb just playing in the backfield

939
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: a little bit bigger, and like I said, your boy

940
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: brown Tree, right, he's a guys. He's ranked right after

941
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: Naji Harris, And that sang a lot because Naji Harris

942
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: is a great athlete. Larry brown Tree. Guys like that there,

943
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: they won't be appreciated. They're just like the Frank Gulas.

944
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: They won't be appreciated until their career is old. And

945
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: he's got Naji Harris ranked twenty fifth, the only running

946
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: back in his top thirty two. That is amazing to me.

947
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: The only running back. Yes, absolutely, that makes no sense.

948
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: Come on, you could You could put that on Gil.

949
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: And here's that's another thing I'm gonna put on Gail. Yeah. Right,

950
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 1: And here's a guy, his thirty second guy. But when

951
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: I watched this guy play, oh my, uh, Cadarius Tony,

952
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: the wide receiver from Florida. I don't know if you've

953
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: ever seen him. He will cause some team team's headaches.

954
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: I'll guarantee you that. And he may go higher than

955
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: thirty second. He's not big, but boy, uh he's the

956
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: next coming of the Kansas City's Guy Hill. Right. Uh,

957
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: this guy, yeah, this guy is all over the place

958
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: with the football. So anyway, well that's two shot, two
