00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the Players

Speaker 1: Lounge broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star.

Speaker 1: welcome to another edition of the Players Lounge, brought to

6
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: you by Hotels dot Com. I'm NEWI scrug long time Cowboys.

7
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: We are joined by poor Dallas Cowboys players Barry Church

8
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: and Danny McCray. Gentlemen, Cowboys getting ready to face the

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals right now. The Bengals have the third record

10
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: in the league. They would draft third, the Cowboys would

11
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: draft fifth. They meet in the queen City of Cincinnati

12
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: on Saturday. How are we feeling about this so far? Church? Ah, Man,

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: you know this game, this game coming up against Cincinnati.

14
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: I think we might actually win. Man, I think we

15
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: might actually win. Don't confuse. That would be school, all right,

16
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: that's not That's not me being back on the cooler

17
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: or anything like that. I just feel like we have

18
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: a good better chance of winning this game than any

19
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: other game. So I'm gonna have to ride with Cowboys.

20
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: But we'll do our predictions later. Yeah, I mean, I

21
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not sure. I think this is the

22
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: time when you start to see guys pop up on

23
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: the injury report who really not heard, and they start

24
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: packing in a little bit. And I say that just

25
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: because you know, I see Zeke. I see Zeke is

26
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,919
Speaker 1: the first, the first the victim of the injury report.

27
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: So we'll go through the rest of the week and

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: see see how it plays out. But this is that

29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: time to where you start playing it for Vegas and

30
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: playing for vacation and start seeing the family when you

31
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: know you're pretty much out of there. So I'm not

32
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: sure how our chances are to beat the Bengals. All right,

33
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are in their final four games of the season.

34
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: This is the final quarter, This is the push in

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: December and the past we used to talk about how

36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys would have some tough times in December. Right now,

37
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: as far as this December goes, it's really not gonna

38
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: be much to remember, because while the Cowboys are technically

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: still in the race for the NFC Championship, it does

40
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: not feel like it feels like Baltimore was the end

41
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: of the run. As Barry Church said he was done

42
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: drinking the koo leg. So let us ask this question

43
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: here on the players line. Let's get right to it.

44
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Which players need to be in their final four games

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: in a Dallas Cowboys uniform? If you were management, which

46
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: players would you be looking at saying, you know what,

47
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to say goodbye to this player and

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: move on from them after the season. Who'd like to

49
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: go first? If you want me to go first, I

50
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: got my list, I'm ready to go. I would love

51
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: to hear Newi's take. I would love to hear NAT's take.

52
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: I want to see how you go about this. Okay,

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: all right, first, wait, wait, wait, Louie, Wait, wait, Louie, Louie, Louie,

54
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, look, I'm gonna hold this up

55
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: for the camera, just so everybody knows. I'm not gonna

56
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: have my names out. But I got my list because

57
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want nobody to think that

58
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: I saw your list and then I started changing it up.

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: All right, I don't want I don't want that to happen. Church.

60
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 1: I hope you got yours already written down. I don't

61
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: want to see no pins over there. You scratch the

62
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: names out you know, you know, so you could they're okay,

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: all right, all right, all right, go ahead, go ahead.

64
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: I want to make sure all of the same page. Yes,

65
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Tyrone Crawford may nine million dollars this year. He's an

66
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: unrestricted free agent the Cowboys. He told just go ahead

67
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: and move on and say thank you. The past two

68
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: and a half years and just it's not been there.

69
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: So Tyrone Crawford is off the list. The Cowboys defensive line,

70
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: to me, has to be the first thing that they

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: addressed in terms of improving it. So Tyrone Crawford would

72
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: not be back on the football team. Chris Jones, the putner.

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Chris Jones's last two seasons have not been good. He's

74
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: been injured. The punning and special teams you have not

75
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: been good at all. Chris Jones had a great run,

76
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: but like anything, it comes a point time where we

77
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: gotta say goodbye. So putter Chris Jones would become Xavier Woods.

78
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: He'll be an unrestricted free agent. The Cowboys need to

79
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: rebuild this defensive secondary along with that defensive line. I

80
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: thought the game in Baltimore pretty much told us all

81
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: we need to know, you know, thank you very much.

82
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys were hoping that he could become

83
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: a difference maker. He has not. I don't necessarily put

84
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: it all on Woods. I mean, when you're sitting around

85
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: here drafted dudes in the fifth and sixth round, you

86
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: can only expect so much. But they need to move

87
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: on from him. Shaun Lee. Shaun Lee has been a

88
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: warrior his time here. But Sean Lee, they need to

89
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: stop it, just say say thank you. They want to

90
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: offer him a spot in the organization somewhere, but you know,

91
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You got too many questions at linebacker between

92
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: Jalen and Layton vanderest you don't need a third question

93
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: with Sean Lee. Cheetah O Woozia at the corner spot.

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: You drafted Cheeto in the second round. You hoped he

95
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: could be a player. This was the year. If he

96
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: was going to show you something, it was going to

97
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: be in a money year. He was hurt. Um, he's

98
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: just a guy. He's a jag. You can go find

99
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: another guy, and you can get a Cheeto for a

100
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 1: lot cheaper price than what you're paying here. Darren Thompson

101
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 1: understood the free agent. You got a lot of guys

102
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: on your list. Thank you, Thank you, Darien. We appreciate

103
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: your efforts, but you know, no, move on along Greg's

104
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: arline the kicker. Uh, they can get out of this

105
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: contract and not have to pay him over two million

106
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: dollars next year. The cap George would be six hundred

107
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: and sixty thousand dollars. So go ahead and and thank

108
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: him for his service. UM called Kai four Bath back

109
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: saying maybe sorry, uh, can we get you back on

110
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: that million dollars deal? Um? But you go right there. Um.

111
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: So these are guys and I'm just sitting here looking

112
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: at and I'm just saying, uh, you know, thank you,

113
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: but but we need to we need to move on

114
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: the way. Also, I'd be looking at it at Cam

115
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: Murky swing tackle. He was only on a one year

116
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: deal anyway. But but if you can't play, um, no,

117
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: you're not doing any good. The Cowboys, in my opinion,

118
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: need to seriously think about it in this draft of

119
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: taking the tackle in the one of the first three

120
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: rounds or first four rounds. And I say that because

121
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: as much as I am a Tyrant Smith fame and

122
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: Tyrann Smith has Hall of Fame credentials and he's all

123
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: decade player, we know he's been missing games the past

124
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: four years and this year, you know, Tyrant play that

125
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: first game and he's been out. Then when you've got Collins,

126
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: you you've also invested heavily in. And these are guys

127
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: that you just can't cut because the salary cap. You

128
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: need to get a swing tackle, because you cannot just

129
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: sit up here and say that both of these gentlemen

130
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: are gonna play sixteen games. So you need to use

131
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: some capital at that position to go get a guy

132
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: who can do it and not try to run around

133
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: here with you know, cam irving cam flaming these dudes

134
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: who can't get it done. So that's where you got

135
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: to go there. So that's that's my list of guys

136
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: who need to be in their final four games with

137
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. As you turn this thing over, no,

138
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: I love it, Douey, Hey say it with your chess

139
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: man rattled scave all strong. I like it though, Man,

140
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: You and me both got a lot of a lot

141
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: of similarities in our list. Man, so I'm gonna go

142
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,559
Speaker 1: ahead and rattle off a few myself if you guys

143
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: don't mind. Number one on my list, man, number one

144
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: on my list, and this is my boy. I mean,

145
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: I've been teammates with this guy for seven years when

146
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: I was with the Cowboys. I mean six years when

147
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: I was with the Cowboys. But I mean it's his

148
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: time and that's and that's Tyrone Crawford man. I mean

149
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: you already said it knew he but you know that's

150
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: a pile too much on him because you pretty much

151
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: said I was I would get ready to say about him.

152
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: But he's just making too much money, man. Ten million

153
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: dollars this season and he didn't even record a single

154
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: stat last week against Baltimore. No tackles, no sacks. I

155
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: don't even think he had a quarterback pressure. And when

156
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: you're going when you're getting that much money from an organization,

157
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: there's expectations that come along with that. Now, if he

158
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: was making you know, maybe two or three mill, I

159
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: don't think he would be on this list. But the

160
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: expectations of a guy making ten million, you're gonna have

161
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: to go out there and you're gonna have to produce.

162
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: And that's just something that we haven't seen from Tyron

163
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: Crawford lately. I mean, yeah, I understand he's one of

164
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: the leaders in the locker room and he kind of

165
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: that guy in that defensive line room that everybody kind

166
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: of respects and brings along with him. But he just,

167
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, leadership alone isn't worth ten million dollars. I'm sorry.

168
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: So he's gonna he's gonna have to go after this year.

169
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, as my boys, my teammate,

170
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: but he's just making too much money and he's not

171
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: producing enough. Next on my list, I would have to

172
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: go to a Woozier. I mean, look, this is a

173
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: guy that he just has it develops in his time

174
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: here with the Cowboys. They thought he was gonna be

175
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: that guy. They thought he was gonna be that number

176
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: two corner. And over these last two years he's been

177
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: getting picked on. I mean, fifty fifty jump balls. Guys

178
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: have been mostling them. Guys have been beating them deep.

179
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: And when he came back from injury with that hamstring,

180
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit too early, but he was on

181
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: the field, he looked like he was carrying cinder blocks

182
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: with him while he was running. He wasn't able to

183
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: keep up with anybody. And as a corner in a

184
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: national football league, you can't have that. You can't have that.

185
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: Guys are too good out here. You gotta have a

186
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: guy that can shut down on the other side, and

187
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: he just wasn't that this year. So I'm sorry, but

188
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: you know, he might have to find free agency and

189
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: might have to find a one year deal somewhere else

190
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: to kind of get going with the rest of his career. Now,

191
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: this one, this one might be a little bit of

192
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: surprise to you guys, But I also got Alden Smith

193
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: on my list. Now. Look, I know he came out

194
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: early in the season and he was he's on fire.

195
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: Everybody was like, oh, the Smith, Maddie. He know he's

196
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: been five years off, but it was like, he only

197
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: missed five games. This guys out here, he's legit. And

198
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: I'll admit it. I was on that kool aid train

199
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: as well. But after those first three, three or four games,

200
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we've rarely heard from Alden Smith. I mean,

201
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: he's been on the field and kind of a kind

202
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: of a Tyran Crawford esque season. After after those first

203
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: three games, I mean, he's on the field, but he's

204
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: not making plays. He's not generating stats out there, and

205
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: as a premier rusher, if he hits the freemire, if

206
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: he hits the market he's going to be a lot

207
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: more than we're willing to pay him. So I think

208
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: we let him go. I don't think we swallowed a

209
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: bullet and signed him back or anything like that, because

210
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: I think his production hit the ceiling after those first

211
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: three games, and if you saw after that, he's gone

212
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: downhill consistently after that. And that brings me to third

213
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: on my list. Gotta go woods man. I mean, it's

214
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: just been downhill since he made those comments about not

215
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: all the time we're hustling and all that stuff. You

216
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: can't make those comments. And as a safety back, this

217
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,479
Speaker 1: defense needs. This defense needs a leader. This defense needs

218
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: someone in the back end that can control the secondary,

219
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: get him all on the same page, making sure everything

220
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: is commuted to Cadie out there. And I just don't

221
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: think he's that guy. I don't know if he's young,

222
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: or if the system he didn't really get the system

223
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: like that, but as a free safety in the back end,

224
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: you gotta be the quarterback of the defense, especially the secondary,

225
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: and there was just too many lapses out there. We've

226
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: seen too many busted coverages and I'm saying it all

227
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: his fault. But as a leader back in there, in

228
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: the secondary. You gotta be the quarterback, and you gotta

229
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: make sure everybody's on the same page. And he just

230
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to do that with his tenure here

231
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: in Dallas. So hopefully he'll be able to pick his

232
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: game up somewhere else, but I don't believe it's going

233
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: to be in Dallas. And lastly, I put my boy,

234
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: mister swite clear abews Jalen on my list and look

235
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: and look, I know I'm not the only reason he's

236
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: on this list is because I'm not sure if we

237
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: if we designate him as a June first cut, I'm

238
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: not sure if he counts that much against the cap.

239
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: But if that is true, if we can make him

240
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: a designated June first cut and we don't have any

241
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: cap penalty, then he gotta go. Man. Look, I mean,

242
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: look this this guy. I mean, he just has been

243
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: in decline since two thy and eighteen. He seems to

244
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: be flying all over the field, but it's in the

245
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: wrong direction. I mean, he just seems like a chicken

246
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: with his head cut off out there just running around.

247
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: So for me, I mean, look, he's a good dude

248
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: off the field, but we need more. We need more,

249
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: and plus another. That's another guy with the expectations with money.

250
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean, when you're making whatever he's making. I think

251
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: he's making nine or ten a year. You gotta match

252
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: that on the field, and we just haven't seen it.

253
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: We haven't seen this splash play. So my boy, Jaila,

254
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: you made no tradamis aka Church's list of the cowboys

255
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: who will be going next year. Goodness, y'all, listen, what

256
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: what's left for me? Goodness, y'all. Y'all went hard. Y'all

257
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: went hard. So I guess I'm gonna just have to

258
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: reiterate a couple of y'alls. Of course, you know new

259
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: he said that text message yesterday with in the DM

260
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: about how much Crawford was making, so he has to

261
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: be number one on the list. Yeahs Nube. He asked

262
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: me number on one, number one on the list if

263
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: it's just because of how much money he's making versus

264
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: the production, right, Like, I don't This one doesn't have

265
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: anything to do with Nolan. As much as I want

266
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: to blame it on him, I don't think this has

267
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: anything to do with Nolan. I think it just has

268
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: to do the decline and his ability to play the

269
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: defensive line position. So you know they got they got

270
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: to get out of there and save that because they

271
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: need some money one if they plan on getting backed

272
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: back in the building to be they started quarterback next year,

273
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: So get get getting my grad Crawford out of there.

274
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: I love them, I played with him, but you know,

275
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: the old guard sometimes you got to get out of there.

276
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: And that leads me into what newis said. But my

277
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: guy fifty I talked about this earlier in the in

278
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: the in the year when they were saying that Sean

279
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: Lee was the guy who was coming in here giving

280
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: all the speeches and being the leader of the team

281
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. He's not even the starter on

282
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: the roster. He was he was out, he had surgery,

283
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: and this is the guy you're looking to to be

284
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: the leader on the field by sitting on the sideline

285
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: and and trying to coach people up. I think I

286
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: won't say it in a sense to where it's just

287
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: like winning as far as holding people back, but they

288
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: have to make room for somebody else to become the

289
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: true leader in that defensive locker room, and with Sean leader,

290
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that's ever gonna happen. So you know,

291
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: great career. Uh, maybe he can go out there to

292
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: to Oakland with I mean to Vegas with Besoccia and

293
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: them with you know, and reconnect with him. But he

294
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: has to get out of there. Um. And I know

295
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: that we can't get rid of this guy just based

296
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: off the money. But if there's any way for us

297
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: to move him and get something for him, I would

298
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: say it's Tyrant Smith. I mean, this is if you

299
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,479
Speaker 1: talk about not if you talk about not being dependable

300
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: to you know, for your offensive line and for your

301
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: offense to be out there and like like you handicapped

302
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: the team when you practice all week or get ready

303
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: all off season and then they have to you know,

304
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 1: prepare this backup guy because you haven't been able to

305
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: be out there. And he's making a ton of money.

306
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: I think his contract doesn't isn't up to twenty twenty four.

307
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: So if you if there's a way for you to

308
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: find a way to move on from him, uh, you

309
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: know and save a little bread and get you another

310
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: tackle in there, because you're gonna be picking out this year.

311
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: Get you another tackle in there, like Louis said, to

312
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: shure up this offensive line, then I would say you

313
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: should get that done, my guy, Greg Zeroline, Oh my goodness, listen,

314
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: get him out of here, Get him out, Get him out.

315
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: It didn't it didn't make it. It didn't make any sense.

316
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense for you to bring him in,

317
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: Like you had a service, serviceable guy back there already

318
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: and you decided to let him go and then pay

319
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: another guy seven million dollars to come over here and

320
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: what you call him church? Hook him, luf, hook him luve?

321
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: What are we talking about? He went from legatroun to

322
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: hook him love makes absolutely no sense to me. And

323
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: I will say this, I'm a little I think differently

324
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: than you guys on this Xavier wood state for his

325
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: for his lack of production, to his decline, I have

326
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: to blame it on Nolan. Last year, we looked at

327
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: this guy and we saw that he had the potential

328
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: to be some type of good player, maybe not a superstar,

329
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: but he was going to be a serviceable safety in

330
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. And within ten eleven months he has become

331
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: absolute one hundred and eighty degree of what we thought

332
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: that he was going to be. And if you look

333
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: at this entire defense and this entire secondary and what

334
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: we thought they were going to do this year and

335
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: how they all declined because we weren't blind last year

336
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: what we what we saw. We thought these guys were

337
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: going to be able to improve from where they were,

338
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: and they've declined. All of them across the board have

339
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: declined from where they were. So I have to put

340
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: a lot of this on the defensive coaching staff and

341
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: specifically the defensive back coaches. So I don't think he's

342
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: that bad. I think you bring another leader at safety

343
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: in here and you let him be you know, play

344
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, play second, and I think he'll be serviceable still,

345
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: all right, Um, So so that's where we're out there.

346
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to respond to the couple a couple names

347
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,240

391
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: we were just talking about in the first segment players,

392
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: we think should be in their final four games with

393
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Okay, as they enter this final uh four

394
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: games of the season. Now, Barrett, you brought up Jalen Smith,

395
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: and here's one reason why I'll push back on you there.

396
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: It will cost you nine point four million dollars to

397
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: not have Jalen on the team next year. Even if

398
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: it's that's what post June cut. Well, you can split

399
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: it up if you do it post June, so you

400
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: can split it up that you basically want to go,

401
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, five million one year and basically five million next.

402
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: But that's but yeah, that's that's still too much money out.

403
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: You know, he would have to stay it in. I mean,

404
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: that's still too to me, that's still too much dead

405
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: money for to cut him with it. I mean so

406
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: that I guess so so money that's why. So for me,

407
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: money becomes that issue. The Cowboys push a lot of

408
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: money on guys into next year because they're trying to

409
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: get under the cap. Go back to Tyrn Smith here,

410
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: which you brought up, Danny, it would cost you fourteen

411
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: million dollars in dead money to cut Tyron Smith in

412
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. In twenty twenty two, it's fifteen million dollars.

413
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: So Tyrant is basically going to be here. You put

414
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: yourself in a position that it's kind of like barred

415
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: against the credit card. The cowboys kept pushing his money

416
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: down the road. So it's gonna cost you a lot.

417
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: And that's why I ended up go ahead. Does he

418
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: have any value out there? That's why I say, isn't

419
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: a way to move on from or get anything anything

420
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: for Tyrn Smith? You know, not at all. I don't

421
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: think so. No, we're talking about injury history. It's just horrible, man,

422
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: and they're gonna and cowboys are gonna. I think the

423
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: cowboys are gonna want too much for him to trade

424
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: him off. And you know, I don't think the teams

425
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: are willing. They would be to give a guy too

426
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: much for that injury history he has. They would be

427
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: crazy that man. Listen, that should be when I'm NBA deal,

428
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: sign it. Just get the contract off of you because

429
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: it's and it's and listen, it's not his play. It's

430
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: not nothing against him, like he can't control you know,

431
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: his back and his neck and all that stuff. Like

432
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: he's just getting injured. And it's been going on for

433
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: the last few years. So, like I said, it's nothing

434
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: against him personally, he just hasn't been able to stay

435
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: healthy and that is hand becapping the team. And that

436
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: started when against in the Atlanta game, when we saw

437
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: Clayborne coming against six secks. That was the most eye

438
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: opening thing for Tyrris Live being out of the game

439
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: that I've seen since I've been here. Well, and just

440
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: go back to what you guys were both talking about here.

441
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: So if you just both went okay and they took

442
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: took your suggestion in terms of taking of releasing Jalen

443
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: Smith and Tyrn Tyring, you're talking about fifteen million dollars

444
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean twenty five million dollars basically. Uh,

445
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: And that's just you know, twenty four million bucks. And

446
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: that's just in a year where the salary cap is

447
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: going to go down, you're basically just gonna have to

448
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: eat it for a year. I'll say this in Jalen's defense,

449
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: let me get another coordinator in here and then start

450
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: to look at what do I really have because in

451
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: my opinion, I don't think Mike Nolan did right by

452
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: either player vander Esh, Jalen Smith, Riven Shanlee. I just

453
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: don't think I just do not think these guys fit

454
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: this system. I don't think that Lake Banderesh is a

455
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. I think Lake Vanderesh is an outside linebacker.

456
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: I don't want a guy with the next problem in

457
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: the middle. So I just think there's so many issues

458
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: with this defense that I look at a guy who's

459
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: got a high number and say, you know what, I'll

460
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: give one more year. And then, by the way, the

461
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: outtime for the Cowboys on this deal is after the

462
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season now, so that's really where, Okay,

463
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: how can you get out of this deal and not

464
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 1: kill your cap. It's going to be in twenty twenty

465
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: after the twenty twenty one season, and then it's a

466
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: six million dollars hit, so you can say, okay, we'll

467
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: cut it. Do a post June first cut. Do three

468
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: million one year, three million the next. That's that's a

469
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: little bit more manageable, and you might have Dak Prescott

470
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: already done, and then you can kind of maneuver some

471
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: things a little bit bit better. When you start to

472
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: look at that thing. It's kind of like with Greg's

473
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: rline here that you get rid of you cut this

474
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: guy out of this year you know, your dead cap

475
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: hit is only going to be six hundred and sixty

476
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: six thousand dollars. You can make that work versus trying

477
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: to pay this guy two point three million dollars the

478
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,719
Speaker 1: next year. So that was kind of just, you know,

479
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: in terms of looking at why kind of with the

480
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: way I did with that and not putting those guys

481
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: on my list. Yeah, and I don't go back to

482
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: the linebackers real quick. I never understood well, first of all,

483
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan's gone to begin with, But I never understood

484
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: why they switched those guys up because I understand, you know,

485
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, vander esh he's a bigger body,

486
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: and you kind of want a bigger body banging in there,

487
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: but he had those neck issues. And with Jalen Smith,

488
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: he could have been in the middle linebacker because he

489
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: doesn't move side to side well. And as a will linebacker,

490
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: you got to be able to move well in space

491
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: and that's just something Jalen doesn't do. So I would

492
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: have stuck Jalen right in that middle, made him between

493
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: the tackle player and he come down here that's exactly

494
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: what he does best, and leave vander Esch on the

495
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: outside as a will because he can move side to side,

496
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: he has some lateral movement ability. So I think Mike Nolan,

497
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: you're right, knew we I think he did a disservice

498
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: to all three of those linebackers by switching those positions

499
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: when he came in, and we might have seen a

500
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: better a better linebacker corps if they hadn't did that.

501
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: So I don't know, man, I guess we could give

502
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: these guys one more year and then to see how

503
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: it play out after that. Listen, Church, you got you

504
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: gotta be honest with yourself about about what they were

505
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: in last year and what they're in now. You gotta

506
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: remember that Mary and Nelly in front of those linebackers,

507
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: they did a lot of stunts, a lot of a

508
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: lot of pirates, a lot of a lot of games

509
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: in front of them, so they didn't have to take

510
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: on those blocks head on every every every time that

511
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: the ball was ran. So it was a lot of

512
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: chasing side to side. When you got d Law and

513
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: the defensive linemen going spiking into the A gap and

514
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: B gap, then you got Vanderish and Jay Leon Smith

515
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 1: running sideline of the sideline getting over the top. So

516
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: that's why you saw a lot of that pursuit and

517
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: you saw those being saw those guys being able to

518
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: run side a lot of sideline because what was in

519
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: front of them when they were playing D line. Now

520
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: it's just guys two gapping and then you gotta come.

521
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: You gotta come meet the fullback or or the offensive

522
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: tackle head to head, and we're seeing them, you know,

523
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: not not do so well in those situations. Mccrai. Let

524
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: me jump on what you just said there. And also,

525
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: and this is another defensive of the linebacking group in general.

526
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: When you're D line is as bad as the Cowboys

527
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: D line, especially up the middle, it's hard to be

528
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: a good linebacker in this league. I was talking with

529
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: someone who who coached the Ravens and by the way,

530
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan used to be the Ravens if it's a coordinator,

531
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: and they spoke about how they always had to make

532
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: sure they had some good guys the front flour to

533
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: keep Ray Lewis free, and that ray Lewis would basically

534
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: man a guard, could you know, or you know, a

535
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: tackle could get on ray Lewis and they could just

536
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: push him around. And so because you know, ray was

537
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: Ravens wasn't that big of a players, a heck of

538
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: a players, a Hall of famer, But that was the thing.

539
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: They had to try and keep it clean for Ray

540
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: so he could get in there. Um, these linebackers haven't

541
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: had it clean for two years, Okay, in in my opinion,

542
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they've had it clean for two years

543
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 1: right now. We look at their play some of it.

544
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: You can look at what's happened at the front four.

545
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: That's why I would be leaning it in terms of

546
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: just saying, hey, look, I'll give one more year and

547
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,239
Speaker 1: let's see what we can do up front as an

548
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: organization to get this front four a heck of a

549
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: lot better. Because what they've got right now, I'm sorry

550
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: it's not working. Yeah, that's true, true, And we also

551
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: got to take it too account. I mean it they

552
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: didn't have an off season, they didn't have any type

553
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: of OTAs, no type of captain's workouts, they had an

554
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: abbreviated training camp, and no preseason. So I mean, I

555
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: know those are all excuses, and then you know a

556
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: lot of the NFL teams had to go through the

557
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: same thing. But I think we need to get these

558
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: guys just just one more after watch you definitely knew it.

559
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 1: You spoke me into into giving these guys one more.

560
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: I was ready to get rid of Jalen with the quickness,

561
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, I would. I wouldn't get rid of Jalen.

562
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: But I'm with you on the all the Smith for

563
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: a man, because one we're known to overpay guys, and

564
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: I could see that being one guy that they decided

565
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: that they just go overpayes because they saw some potential

566
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: in the first few games and try to use that

567
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: same excuse that you just used with no off season

568
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: he was coming off you know, five year hiatus and

569
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. Don't overpay this guy, move on,

570
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: go find you another another guy to play that position,

571
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: or just invest in Randy Gregory because we've seen him

572
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: be able to play once again in as long as

573
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: you can depend on him to, you know, to stay

574
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: available for you. All right, let me throw this out

575
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: here on the Alden Smith thing. What if there's certain

576
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: teams out there they're looking at an Alden Smith to say,

577
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, because of what happened in the past, we're

578
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: probably gonna hit the pause if they don't trust them.

579
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: And then with the salary cap going down, We're gonna

580
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: see some massive discounts on some very good players. So

581
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys could elect not to sign Alden Smith and

582
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: they may be able to go get themselves another guy,

583
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: you know, who could turn out to be a good

584
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: player who fits in here, who another team says, you know,

585
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: we don't want to pay that guy. It didn't work

586
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: out with Everson Griffin, but it worked out the year

587
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: before with Robert Quinn. So the Cowboys could find themselves,

588
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, and then they got Alden Smiths, So the

589
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys could find themselves in the market for another discounted

590
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: defensive end. Right now, they've gotten the fifth pick in

591
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: the draft, so maybe a top defensive end player is there,

592
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: or a top defensive tackle player is there. So I

593
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: think that you may be able to get him back

594
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: at a good rate, because you know, there's gonna be

595
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 1: this is gonna be dollar general prices out here for

596
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: some really good players this off season because the cat

597
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: in the way it is, man, you know, it's gonna

598
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: be interesting. Would you would you want him back newly,

599
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: even if at at a at a discount, at a

600
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: discount of rate, would you want him back that has

601
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: he shown that much that he's earned the right to

602
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 1: come back. Um, once again, I'll say this, tell me

603
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: who my coordinator is and and that's the conversation I

604
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: would like to have with my guy. If my coordinators say, hey, look,

605
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: let's let's you know, here's our free age. You know,

606
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: you could bring in the coordinator and like anything, you

607
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: run through the roster, what do you think about this

608
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: player who's available? This is what the draft looks like.

609
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: And I would say, make a make a decision there.

610
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: Alden Smith may may decide he doesn't want to be here,

611
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: especially if they change the scheme to straight forward three

612
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: and he decides, you know, I don't want to go go

613
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: my hand down. So you know, that's another thing there.

614
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: We talk about some of these guys who are understrict

615
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: the free ages, as though they want to come back,

616
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: maybe they don't want to be back. You know, maybe

617
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,479
Speaker 1: Tito Tito May Tito, Who's he says, you know, man,

618
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: I had enough of this. I don't want to be

619
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: on this. This defense ain't no good. Um, I want

620
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: to go somewhere else, you know, same thing with zaber Woods,

621
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: some other guy. I mean, there's gonna be guy Jordan,

622
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: because say the same thing. There's some guys who might

623
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: say I don't want to be in Dallas anymore, So

624
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: I will say, let's say this. I will say, this's

625
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: a bit of advice to all those young dbs and

626
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: young guys coming up another organization out there, like the

627
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. As far as money on the field and

628
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: off the field, I promise you the grass is not

629
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: always greener. So put all that into account when you're

630
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: making your choice in free agency. Just don't go chasing

631
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: the money list today. That's just an old man. That's

632
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: just an old man giving advice. And let me wrap

633
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: up this all the Smith thing, all right, because listen,

634
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: if it's one position on the field, actually one player

635
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: right now that I will not allow Mike Nolan to

636
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: be put the blame on. It's all the Smith to me,

637
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: Like when I when I talked about the Marcus Lawrence,

638
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: it was, hey, man, the dude is not used to

639
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: putting his hand down. Now he's playing standing up all this.

640
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: If there's one guy who knew the scheme and was

641
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: used to doing the stuff that Mike Nolan is asking

642
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: these people, asking these guys to do, it's all the Smith.

643
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: And we saw it at the beginning, and then we

644
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: saw the drop off, you know, as the season has

645
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: been going on. So as far as bringing in a

646
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: new coordinator and finding out, you know, if Mike Nolan

647
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: was the reason for him not being able to produce

648
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: like like we expected him to be able to do.

649
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: I can't give that one, annot sniff. I think we've

650
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: seen what he has left in the tank and it's

651
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: time to move on from it. All right, m boy,

652
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: We just got some more juicy details about the Cowboys

653

Speaker 1: All Right correction here deadcap hit money on tyrn Smith.

701
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: It is eight point eight million dollars okay, that's it

702
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty one. Eight point eight million bucks. That's

703
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: still a high number. It's not the fourteen that I

704
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: thought it was, but it is still eight million bucks.

705
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: But it's saving five. Is that saving? You gotta pay

706
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: him fourteen, but you release them and only pay eight

707
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: for the dead cap. You're saving five though, right, all right?

708
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: So let's say this. You you cut him, You tell

709
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: me where you're going. If you don't have Smith at

710
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: left tackle, you're gonna put the punds over there. No,

711
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: you're getting a high draft pick. You gotta get this

712
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: offensive line right now. Oh no, we gotta go defense

713
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: with the draft. You gotta address, you gotta dress. I'm

714
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: not the line. The reason, the reason he's got to

715
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: be lined, the reason I'm not addressing. Listen, the best

716
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: years of the Dallas Cowboys have been win when the

717
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: offensive line was top notch and running and running the show,

718
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 1: not the defense. You already got a hundred million dollars

719
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: on one player on the defensive line. Get rid of Tyres.

720
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: You already got LC out there coming back at right tackle.

721
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: Get show up your love tackle position and play the

722
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: offensive game. And Mike McCarthy wants to play no, n no,

723
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. If you draft, if you draft

724
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman and with the with the with the

725
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: fifth pick, you are making a mistake. I don't care

726
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: what y'all saying. That is that will be a total.

727
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: We got to be on the d line as long

728
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: as it's on the defense. We need to spend at

729
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: least six of the seventh picks. Gotta be on defense. Man,

730
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: this team, this defensive team was prociers and we got

731
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: so many free agents. I mean, we got we got

732
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: a so so so when so when are you addressing

733
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: the left tackle? I told you, I said within my

734
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: first four picks, but my first pick right now, and

735
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: I probably my first, second, and third might even be

736
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: right here on on on defense, Danny, do you realize

737
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have given up more points than the New

738
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: York Jets this year? I also realized that yesterday. You know,

739
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: but but but I know who the defensive coordinator is.

740
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: These guys were not that. These are the same dudes.

741
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: These guys were not that bad last year. They came

742
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: in here, change the skins and gave up everything. I'm

743
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: not listening defense. I know I ain't hearing MC Craze says,

744
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: it's all on the it's all on the coaches. No, no,

745
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm saying. I'm saying that our offense, like

746
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: taking care of my offensive line and Dak Prescott who's

747
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: coming off an injury, is more important than picking a

748
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: defensive line and number five in the draft. That's what

749
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'll take I'll take my chances on Tyrn

750
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: Smith next year and playing two games. Go ahead, take

751
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: my chances on Tyrn Smith coming back next year, Lele

752
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: Collins coming back next year and using a pick along

753
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: the way for a tackle. Like I said, but it's

754
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: not gonna be my first pick. My first pick, and

755
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: probably my second pick going straight to defense and probably

756
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: defensive line. It'd be defensive line, defensive backfield. But I'm

757
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: fixing this defense. This defense is bad. It has to

758
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: be fixed, even if I go ahead, go ahead, go ahead,

759
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: and go ahead now go ahead ahead no no, no no, no,

760
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: no go go go oh. All right, So I'm about

761
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: to say he also gotta take into the account with

762
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith those injuries in his past years, he ended

763
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: up going throughout the season like he didn't stop the season,

764
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: he didn't rest He didn't get surgery to fix it.

765
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: He just thought, you know, after the seasons, then we're

766
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: gonna take it. We're gonna take a accountability for it.

767
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna fix it after season. But this year, I mean,

768
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: he exited early, so he's had months and months off

769
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: and he's gonna have the whole off season. He might

770
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: come back refreshing, ready to roll. That's all I'm saying. Church.

771
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: I would rather put him at tackle than go ahead

772
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: and draft one in the first system I know my defense.

773
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: This is literally the most time Tyres Smith's hand off

774
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: in his whole career. This year he came got hurt.

775
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: So I'm talking about thefore the season, before the season,

776
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: they had no off season, they had no OTAs, they

777
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: had no real training camp. This is the most time

778
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: that the dude has had off and he he didn't

779
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: have some Church. He came back and having a new injury.

780
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: It was the back, and that was the net. He's

781
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: gonna be right, all right, I've been ended. Let's end

782
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: this one. He had moved on to the next top

783
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: and he ended this one. Danny, Uh, your mindset is

784
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: not the mindset of the Jones family. So so let's

785
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 1: just end it right there, and let's move right because

786
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: I because I want to pick Justin Jefferson. You're right,

787
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: they don't have my mindset. We would add Justin Jefferson

788
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: on the squad for two hundred a game. Okay, that's good,

789
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: That's that's good to know. Guys have decided. Glad LSU's

790
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: decided not to play in a bowl game this year too.

791
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 1: That's really really, really kind to them. We're gonna miss.

792
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: We're gonna miss a lot of my bowl games than that.

793
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: Don't worry Mada. John Macholda, the athletic who covers the

794
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys It's a fine job, tweeted this out twenty eight

795
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: minutes ago. Let me read the tweet. Cowboys linebacker Jalen

796
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: Smith said, it's quote unacceptable end quote that Mike McCarthy

797
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: had to address the team today about their effort. Quote.

798
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: We can all give more effort. And that goes for

799
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: all the players, including myself, and the same for the coaches.

800
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: It's a big reason why we are where we are

801
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:55,479
Speaker 1: in quote. That's a lot to unpack right there. Would

802
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: you like to start first, Danny McCrae, I mean, let's

803
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't have much of sin. But we addressed this

804
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: when Xavier Woods came out in the media and said,

805
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: you can't expect us to hustle for the entire game.

806
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: You talk about the entire game. Jayleen Smith should have

807
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: addressed that. Then they should have had somebody locker roll

808
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,479
Speaker 1: say age, Aya, I don't know what you're talking about.

809
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: You need to go recant that statement and say, hey,

810
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: I made a mistake and I should be the first

811
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: one out there hustling for every snap that I'm on

812
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: the field. This is no surprise to me. I'm starting

813
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: to wonder who anonymous is Jaalon Smith coming out here

814
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: to talk about the means that they have an inside

815
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: the team means and stuff. Let's get the let's get

816
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: this stuff figuring out bro some stuff. It's supposed to

817
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: stay in house. We know y'all late hustling. We watched

818
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: the same film that y'all watching. It's week twelve. Now

819
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: it's a little bit too late to fix this. We

820
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: know y'all, and usting y'all about to turn the corner

821
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: on us and get us drinking no kool aid. So

822
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: I mean it is what it is. Look, it's just talk,

823
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,959
Speaker 1: talk and more talk. I mean that's all we've seen

824
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: from this Cowboys team, especially on the defensive side of

825
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: the ball. I think it was like week three or

826
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: week four through Cleveland came in there, you know, the

827
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence got on there talking about where soft as

828
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: you know what, and it's just all talking. We need

829
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: to turn it around, we need to turn it around,

830
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: and it's just nothing. All we hear is talk but

831
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: no results out there. And this is another reason why

832
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: I think Jalen needs to exit, because I mean, he's

833
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: supposed to be the leader of this team. He's supposed

834
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: to be the guy that's you know everybody. I'm taking

835
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: accountability for everybody. This is my team, this is my defense.

836
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: But you never hear in any of his post interviews

837
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: or anything like that. He always says we need to

838
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: do this or we need to do that. It's never

839
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: starts with him. It's never like, oh no, I need

840
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: to take accountable lead for my play. I've been doing

841
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 1: this or I've been doing that. It's never that it's

842
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: wee wee wee, or but when it's something good. Now,

843
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: when he's getting picks or when he's doing something good. Yeah,

844
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: you saw how I read the quarterback on that one,

845
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: I had to float back and you know, I had

846
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: to get the interception on that one. I just don't

847
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: think he's a great leader for this team, and his

848
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: play has just not warranted what he's making off the field. Hey, Church,

849
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: where does where does the lack of effort come in at? Like?

850
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: How does that trickle into the locker room? And just

851
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: go through all twelve weeks of the season to where

852
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: you try to address it, you know, in the first

853
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and then you go, you know, getting

854
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: the meeting, you said we're gonna fix this, and then

855
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: the next four weeks you have the same issue. Then

856
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: you go out there and get stuffed again and you

857
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: turn the film on and you say, look, guys, this

858
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: is the same stuff we've been talking about since week two.

859
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: We talked about it again in week six, we talked

860
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: about again in week eight, and now we're back here

861
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: in week twelve talking about the same stuff. Do you

862
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: like just throw your hands up in there, like, all right, y'all,

863
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: if y'all ain't gona hustle, you know, I'm just getting

864
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: rid of y'all. At the end of the season, I

865
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: understand where y'all at or is this something that you're like,

866
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: all right, listen, all right, now it's time to turn

867
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: it on. Do we realize that we aren't hustling when

868
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: we are out there on the field, Like I'm trying,

869
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see what the mindset is, because, like

870
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: I said, when Marinella was here, all shout out to

871
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: him for we was accountability on if you were loafing

872
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: and you were not hustling. And I want to know

873
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: if these dudes in there looking at that same type

874
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: of sheet and seeing twenty and thirty loads out there

875
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: on that sheet per game and being like, all right,

876
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to continue to do the same thing because

877
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: they are they got no respect for anybody in that

878
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: defensive room. Player, there's our coaches. It's no way, There's

879
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: no way, because you know how Marinelli had. He had

880
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: to chart up there, and he had a chart where

881
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: there's loads, there's big plays, there's big hits, there's taking

882
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: a ball away. And if you saw your name on

883
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: that loaf chart, you were embarrassed because you know Marinelli,

884
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: as soon as we got to that meeting, he was

885
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: gonna pull out that pointer and just circle man Church.

886
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: You had about eight loads of this game, and it

887
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: was embarrassing. You didn't want to go into that meeting room.

888
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: You felt less than a man going in there getting

889
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: pointed out for loafing. And they and they put it

890
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: on blasts and it's just like there's just no accountability

891
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: with this defense. You know, one day it's we gotta

892
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: work on hustling, we gotta work on hustling. But then

893
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: they do to hustle, and then there's mental errors. And

894
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: then when they there's no mental errors, there's no hustle.

895
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: It's like they just can't get out of their own way.

896
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: They just don't know. It's just it's I don't know,

897
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: I might have a loss for words about this defense,

898
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: but you're right, mccraye. It's like they just don't have

899
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: the respect for one another out there on the field,

900
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: Like he'll make the play, that guy could do it.

901
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: It's just I haven't seen anything like this in a

902
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: long time. All right, let me give you a little

903
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: bit more from Jail and Smith, where he says it's

904
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: non negotiable. Your effort has to be there, and uh,

905
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: he says goes for players and coaches. It's a big

906
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: reason why we are where we are, Why are you

907
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: talking about these coaches. I'm just just just saying this

908
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: is this is, this is what it was. Um Uh.

909
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: Somebody in the building told me this season he said,

910
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: one problem is nobody mother f's any of these players.

911
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: And then I had another person tell me who they

912
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: don't work in the building. Another person said, there's an

913
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: entitlement factor that players have around the building. How do

914
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: you feel about those two statements that I was told?

915
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: It where your feelings? I think it's one hundred percent right.

916
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: I think it is a one hundred percent right. Not

917
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: Not enough players are fearing the coaches or the repercussions

918
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: of bad play out there, and they just think, hey,

919
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: you know I can play bad, I'll still be right

920
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: in my checker. I'll still be able to cash my check.

921
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: It's just no accountability and there's no fear of losing

922
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: a job or getting mother or like you said, getting MFTR. Yes, yes,

923
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: same here. But like I said, the respect factor for

924
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: the guy that you line it up next to and

925
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: your coaches in the locker room in an organization, to me,

926
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: is not there, especially when you have to address effort

927
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: this many times in one season after you turn on

928
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: the tape and you hear all the commentators, all your

929
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: family and friends, everybody that's in the organization saying, man,

930
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: this team is not hustle. They're not out there giving

931
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. You listen to this the entire season

932
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 1: and you don't go out there and fix it. That

933
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: is a big deal. I am wondering though, why Jaylen

934
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: Smith continues to keep saying players and coaches address the

935
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: people in your locker room, stop talking about the coaching.

936
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna go out there and you're going to play

937
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: what they call do the technique that they teach you

938
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: to play. What you can control yourself as a team

939
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: and as an individual player is how much effort you

940
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 1: give while you're out there in the game on the field.

941
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: That's all you need to worry about. Lead them coaches alone,

942
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: this is it just sends a bad signal, like I

943
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: don't like hearing that. Now, Danny, let me ask this

944
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: question here in the final two minutes that we have,

945
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: what does it say about what Mark Mike McCarthy is

946
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: doing as a head coach that these guys don't have

947
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: the effort that you need. That they had two weeks

948
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: off to get ready for a Baltimore and Baltimore runs

949
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: for basically three hundred yards, and guys look so lost

950
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: out there on the football field. That is that his

951
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: homeboy Micnolan don't know what he's doing. He doesn't he

952
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: doesn't know how he's not leading correctly to get his

953
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: information down from his mind into his position coaches and

954
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: down to his players. Somehow there's a disconnect from what

955
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: he's seeing on the paper when he wants to put

956
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: the scheme in to how he's communicating it to his

957
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: uh secondary coaches and his linebacker coaches, the line coaches,

958
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: and how they're communicated to the players. Because let's getting

959
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: lost in there, all right, all right, we did not

960
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: get a chance to dive into Stephen Jones and his

961
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: um position on Dak Prescott. Let's save that for tomorrow.

962
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: We'll get into it, and then also we can revisit

963
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: more of this in terms of talking about the effort

964
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, because if I'm head coach Mike McCarthy,

965
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm worried. If I'm Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones, I'm

966
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: really worried because if guys are wearing this star and

967
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: are walking out there not giving their effort. That's a

968
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: problem because the best teams in the league, this isn't

969
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 1: an issue, and clearly it's an issue right now in

970
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 1: that locker room. So we've got more to dive into.

971
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 1: It has been a fun time here in our FWBC

972
