Speaker 4: Welcome to Girls Talk Boys Talk presented by Jig Saw,
Speaker 4: the preferred dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys, brought to
Speaker 4: you live here in the SWBC podcast studio at the
Speaker 4: Rainy Star in Frisco, Rainy. Start to ourrow morning. This morning, ladies,
Speaker 4: we give Christy Scales, Hey, Shan Morrison. Jestavars are jazzy
Speaker 4: jazz producing for us in the back today. Arnicle Hutcheson
Speaker 4: is taking some very well deserved r in our time,
Speaker 4: So I'm here filling in as your host today and
Speaker 4: then next week she will be back in her host seat.
Speaker 4: So we miss her, We love her, but we know
Speaker 4: she deserves one heck of a vacation, especially after all
Speaker 4: of the amazing coverage she gave us with the combine
Speaker 4: so cool.
Speaker 3: We love you, we miss you, but you better not
Speaker 3: be watching this. Enjoy the heck out of your vacation.
Speaker 4: All right, everybody, let's start off by saying we have
Speaker 4: our text line open, so if you guys have any questions,
Speaker 4: you can text us at eight one seven two nine
Speaker 4: zero three two nine to eight. I'm gonna have it
Speaker 4: here open throughout the show, so if you have any questions,
Speaker 4: shoot it to us and we will answer them as
Speaker 4: they come in. But where can I start this podcast
Speaker 4: off with a little conversation, a little debate, if you will.
Speaker 4: Something that's being talked about NonStop in all things Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: It's on the TV, it's on Twitter. Is that of
Speaker 4: the comments of Dallas Cowboys tight end current Houston Texans
Speaker 4: tight end Dalton Schultz, who actually just signed I believe
Speaker 4: a three year contract.
Speaker 3: With the team.
Speaker 4: And it's very interesting because he appeared on the Pat
Speaker 4: McFee Show and had some comments about what it was
Speaker 4: like to play for the Cowboys. I had the exact
Speaker 4: quote up here. I don't want to butcher this, so
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna read it to you guys and we
Speaker 4: can open it up for a discussion. All right, he said, quote,
Speaker 4: the focus is just football, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: He's obviously talking about playing in Houston. He said, I'm
Speaker 4: going back and telling some people about being around the
Speaker 4: Cowboys practice facility and game day and describing some of
Speaker 4: the interactions and stuff that you see on a day
Speaker 4: to day basis, and it surprises a lot of people.
Speaker 3: They're like, Holy, it actually happens at the practice facility.
Speaker 4: You think it's normal, and then you come play at
Speaker 4: a place like this. He said, it's literally a zoo, Dude,
Speaker 4: that there's people tape tapping on glass trying to get
Speaker 4: people's attention while they're doing power cleans or whatever. It's different.
Speaker 4: That's the brand they've built, that's what owner Jerry Jones likes.
Speaker 4: That's the way they run things, and there's nothing wrong
Speaker 4: with that. You just don't realize how many eyeballs and
Speaker 4: how much that can maybe distract in the locker room
Speaker 4: or just being in the facility until you go somewhere else,
Speaker 4: like holy, there's none of that.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: So this comes in the wake of the Cowboys culture discussion. Ladies,
Speaker 4: I want to open this up for discussion. What do
Speaker 4: you think about Dalton Schulz's.
Speaker 3: Comments and kind of the.
Speaker 4: Weight that it's holding, especially with this off season conversation
Speaker 4: of there being a culture problem here with the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Well, when he's preferring to tapping the window that there
Speaker 2: are tours that take place at the Star in Frisco,
Speaker 2: and we need to be very clear that the only
Speaker 2: time the Cowboys are at at and T Stadium is
Speaker 2: on game day. All the work during the week is
Speaker 2: here at the Star in Frisco, and all these questions
Speaker 2: about culture, you know, there weren't any questions about it
Speaker 2: during the twelve wins of the regular season. The questions
Speaker 2: about the culture have come after the shocking and disappointing
Speaker 2: first round loss.
Speaker 5: Is he right about it? Yes, there are tours that
Speaker 5: take place.
Speaker 2: Yes, there are a lot more things that come with
Speaker 2: being a Dallas Cowboy than certainly being a member of
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans or some of the franchises that don't
Speaker 2: have quite the following that the Cowboys do. Or mainly
Speaker 2: it has to do with accessibility, and Jerry wants this
Speaker 2: team to be accessible not only to corporate sponsors but
Speaker 2: also to fans, and so it's one of the few
Speaker 2: places where you can take a tour of the actual
Speaker 2: workplace during the week and not just the stadium on
Speaker 2: game day. And so I think the main phrase that
Speaker 2: people have to understand, whether you're working for the Cowboys
Speaker 2: and as an employee in the media, whether you're it
Speaker 2: comes with the dinner. That's something that Jason Garrett would
Speaker 2: always say. All of these extraneous things that come with
Speaker 2: being the Dallas Cowboys, whether it's playing so many primetime
Speaker 2: games during the season because they're a top draw, right,
Speaker 2: all of that overnight travel, the being in Oxnard, California,
Speaker 2: away from your family for three and a half weeks
Speaker 2: during training camp, all lies being on you. It comes
Speaker 2: with the dinner. That's the way it is, rightly or wrongly,
Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz. The main thing he's right about is that's
Speaker 2: the way Jerry wants it. And when you're the owner
Speaker 2: and when you're trying to pay all these bills, and
Speaker 2: when you have the reason why the valuation is nine
Speaker 2: billion dollars and why this development at the Star in
Speaker 2: Frisco was worth more than the actual stadium at at
Speaker 2: and T, it's because of all of these other things.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I'm gonna try to take my emotions out
Speaker 6: of it and things like that. As far as talking
Speaker 6: about what it's like being here, I think we can definitely.
Speaker 6: I know me and Jessica definitely test being new last year.
Speaker 6: It was an adjustment and I even so was just
Speaker 6: surprised that just some of the accessibility to your point
Speaker 6: that you brought up, Christy, but I will say this
Speaker 6: is a conversation that's been happened for though. And to
Speaker 6: your point about this is, you know, yeah, this is
Speaker 6: how Jerry and the way that they have things that accessibility,
Speaker 6: people being able to come in and everything. But I
Speaker 6: do think sometimes it can be You can try to
Speaker 6: adjust all day and prepare for something like that, but
Speaker 6: to experience it can be distracted, can be and I've
Speaker 6: heard multiple players say this type of stuff about being here.
Speaker 6: I do think it is a unique situation. There's nothing.
Speaker 6: I don't think there's anything like it here in the
Speaker 6: league for any player. To the points that you made
Speaker 6: about the games, you know, the primetime games, the amount
Speaker 6: of attention they get, the scrutiny, and just how they're
Speaker 6: under a microscope, absolutely, But in regard to what he's saying,
Speaker 6: I do think that there needs to be a balance
Speaker 6: and I do think that although although it's it should
Speaker 6: be I don't know accepted. I do think there needs
Speaker 6: to be a balance because we have to consider that
Speaker 6: this is their workplace. This is their workplace, just like
Speaker 6: we like if we were working at our desk, and
Speaker 6: like I mean, people go through tours here and that's fine,
Speaker 6: like we love it, but for certain instances, with how
Speaker 6: high stakes what they do is, I do think sometimes
Speaker 6: it could be a distract It could be distracting, and
Speaker 6: it could take away some of the intensity of what
Speaker 6: this game calls for and what this game feels like
Speaker 6: and the preparation for this game feels like. Sometimes. So
Speaker 6: I don't know, I'm very torn about it. And in
Speaker 6: regard to the culture thing, again, like I'm going to
Speaker 6: push back a little bit to you, Christy on the
Speaker 6: fact that it's just this postseason, this after this season.
Speaker 6: We've been having conversations about this culture for you know,
Speaker 6: the last couple of years, because that's why we have
Speaker 6: new coaches coming in and stuff, because they're trying to
Speaker 6: change it. They're trying to flip the script. They're trying
Speaker 6: to make this more football oriented. And I do think
Speaker 6: it is difficult sometimes when there is so much outside
Speaker 6: of football that goes on here. And again it's not
Speaker 6: just even in the building. I mean the national media.
Speaker 6: The tension that this team gets is next level stuff.
Speaker 6: I don't believe that you can coach or handle this
Speaker 6: team like any other team in the NFL because it's
Speaker 6: very unique, and so I think it's just like a
Speaker 6: I don't know. I just think it's just like a
Speaker 6: new a new job or something that like to your
Speaker 6: to his point, it's like, yeah, you can prepare all day,
Speaker 6: but to experience it, I don't know. I feel some
Speaker 6: of the players in this situation, and yeah, that's just
Speaker 6: how I feel about it.
Speaker 2: Some some players are better, and I think it has
Speaker 2: to do with your your personality. You're able to handle
Speaker 2: not only that kind of pressure, but always being in
Speaker 2: the spotlight. I think that's one of Dak Prescott's great strengths.
Speaker 2: There be other quarterbacks and I'm going a little further
Speaker 2: back that don't don't like it, that kind of buckled
Speaker 2: under it, right, And so I'm not talking about Tony Romo.
Speaker 5: No, I'm not talking about Tony Romo.
Speaker 2: But see, but Romo didn't know any differently, and neither
Speaker 2: did Dat Prescott. Neither one of them to Troy Aikman,
Speaker 2: never played in a different uh.
Speaker 5: Place or system.
Speaker 2: Uh obviously what Roger Staubach went through with, you know
Speaker 2: under Tom Landry. But it's it's a spectrum, right, All
Speaker 2: workplaces are a little bit different. The culture in New
Speaker 2: England under Bill Belichick was very very different, right, I
Speaker 2: mean just all football, and you know they talked about
Speaker 2: you're not having any fun and stuff like that, you're winning,
Speaker 2: and some players really thrive in that. But others are
Speaker 2: like man, they couldn't you know, they wanted to go
Speaker 2: someplace where you know, I won't say easier, but a
Speaker 2: different culture. So it takes it takes all tie it
Speaker 2: takes all temperaments. And I agree with you. I think
Speaker 2: that for some players it could be distracting. But like
Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz, and he says it in his comments on
Speaker 2: the Pat McAfee show, he didn't know any differently until
Speaker 2: he got to Houston. He came here in twenty eighteen
Speaker 2: as a fourth round pick, and.
Speaker 5: I also, you know that's just the way it was.
Speaker 4: Well, I also want to throw in there too, is
Speaker 4: just because it's Dalton Schultz doesn't mean we shouldn't listen
Speaker 4: and I think that's something that's getting a little misconstrued
Speaker 4: on Twitter, especially, is because people have such strong feelings
Speaker 4: about Dalton and kind of I guess his mo O
Speaker 4: while he was in Dallas, especially when it comes to
Speaker 4: his online persona that they're not going to listen to that.
Speaker 4: And as a fan, I understand how that could be, like,
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, he doesn't want fans around and blah
Speaker 4: blah blah. Look as a fan, I get it. I
Speaker 4: grew up a Cowboys fan. My family would drive from
Speaker 4: Lost Crews over here to home games from one day
Speaker 4: and then drive back. Like I understand the amount of time, effort, energy, money, blood,
Speaker 4: sweat tears you put into your fandom for the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: But you can't see this through a fan lens. And
Speaker 4: just because it's Dalton Schultz saying it doesn't take the
Speaker 4: validity out of it.
Speaker 3: Doesn't take anything out of it. Because if it was
Speaker 3: Jason Witten saying it, you'd listen. You'd be like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's a good point.
Speaker 4: Actually, But just because it's Dalton Schultz doesn't mean it's
Speaker 4: not a valid point.
Speaker 2: I Actually I would say it means even more. I mean,
Speaker 2: this guy was a player, rep here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, players Union, it's a good point.
Speaker 2: Really really fine player. What a terrific career Dalton Schultz
Speaker 2: has had. And that three year deal he signed with
Speaker 2: the Texans this week, three years, thirty six million dollars
Speaker 2: A man, great for him, and he was a fine
Speaker 2: player when he was here. He's a good person, good
Speaker 2: family guy. So I think he is the right player
Speaker 2: to talk about things like that.
Speaker 4: We also got a text, sorry, no, go ahead. We
Speaker 4: got a text from Mike and Milwaukee things for texting us, Mike,
Speaker 4: he said, having lived in Los Angeles, it's the same
Speaker 4: with the Lakers. Players that play for the Lakers will
Speaker 4: tell you it's not like playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 4: If you don't want the eyeballs on, you don't play
Speaker 4: for the Dallas Cowboys. We were kind of talking about
Speaker 4: this before the show started, of how this could be
Speaker 4: a debate. I usually I want to defer to you
Speaker 4: for this right because I think it's not just so
Speaker 4: black and white. I think there's a lot of in between.
Speaker 4: Grace base that makes that kind of a hard point.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean, first of all, if you
Speaker 6: drafted baby, I don't have a maybe you ain't got
Speaker 6: my choice, and I do think it is a give
Speaker 6: and take thing. I do think it is a give
Speaker 6: and take thing. I mean, I think a lot of
Speaker 6: players benefit from being here, the brand deals, the notoriety
Speaker 6: and things like that. I do think that there's good
Speaker 6: that comes in it. But again, my thing about hearing
Speaker 6: players like Dalton Schultz should obey Woozia, there's been multiple
Speaker 6: players is the fact that they sound refreshed when they
Speaker 6: say it is. It's not. It would be different if
Speaker 6: they were just saying it, but they're saying I enjoy this,
Speaker 6: I enjoy this side of things more. And again, I
Speaker 6: really do think that sometimes the business side of things,
Speaker 6: the entertainment piece, all of that becomes it overshadows the
Speaker 6: football sometimes. And I really do think that some of
Speaker 6: the players are well that. I mean, again, we've heard
Speaker 6: multiple players talk about this, that it's going to be
Speaker 6: important for them to kind of find a balance and
Speaker 6: adopt some of the things. I mean, it doesn't have
Speaker 6: to be Belichick, it doesn't.
Speaker 5: Have to be like that, right, But it's not.
Speaker 6: I'm giving opposite absolutely, But I think it's nothing wrong
Speaker 6: with adapting and finding some balance in that because I
Speaker 6: don't know, like we talk about it, the preparation week
Speaker 6: to week and what they have to work, they have
Speaker 6: to put in and things like that. I just sometimes
Speaker 6: even I personally feel like it's it's little much. But
Speaker 6: in regard to the draft stuff and guys not really
Speaker 6: having a choice sometimes, I mean, these guys are playing
Speaker 6: for their livelihood and things like that. So it's like
Speaker 6: it's easier said than done. Just don't come here, just
Speaker 6: don't play here.
Speaker 2: It's all yeah, but you're right, you don't. It's not
Speaker 2: if you're drafted. You this is one of you.
Speaker 5: Do you think it's the United States? I don't have
Speaker 5: to say, and where you go?
Speaker 6: And I think it can deter players though I think
Speaker 6: it has the third players. I think it has the
Speaker 6: thurd players because the social even from the social media
Speaker 6: aspect of like what the players experience on a regular basis.
Speaker 6: I mean, respectfully, jay Ron Curse had death threats this
Speaker 6: past season from a fan. Ye what they experience that
Speaker 6: other places if it wasn't so microscope everything. Because another
Speaker 6: thing too is like I love being here, but we
Speaker 6: have more media than most teams buy a lot. There's
Speaker 6: a lot more voices speaking on and breaking down the
Speaker 6: intricacies of the game and breaking down all.
Speaker 3: Of the if they're not in the building, talk talk
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 6: Even if they're not in the building. Every day our
Speaker 6: radio station, our our owner and our owners, they go
Speaker 6: on to Radio STA like there's more.
Speaker 2: Four hits a week on the fan th FM. Jerry
Speaker 2: does two a week during the season and Steven does
Speaker 2: during the week.
Speaker 6: So I do think that our fan base sometimes is
Speaker 6: over educated. I wish that there was some secrets in
Speaker 6: this place. I wish that there wasn't always everybody knowing
Speaker 6: everything all the time, because I do think when you
Speaker 6: have as much information as our fan base gets from
Speaker 6: the YouTube community, from the content creators, from the radio,
Speaker 6: from us, it really it's different. It's this is very unique.
Speaker 6: I really do think like we take for I don't.
Speaker 6: Sometimes I have to sit and think, like there's so
Speaker 6: many voices talking about this team consistently, and then if
Speaker 6: you turn on the TV teams that are other teams,
Speaker 6: like they may not mention them all week, they may
Speaker 6: not mention them all year.
Speaker 4: Like It's just I also think too, I don't know,
Speaker 4: it depends on I guess the circumstance of the player
Speaker 4: on if they, because.
Speaker 6: It's the truth.
Speaker 4: It really is so interesting because you have guys like
Speaker 4: Dalton Schultz and Cheetoh that have come out to say,
Speaker 4: you know, and they're relatively younger players, and I can't imagine.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess to an.
Speaker 4: Extent, you and I can kind of relate of being
Speaker 4: younger and not knowing any different and coming in here
Speaker 4: and kind of being shell shocked at first. I mean,
Speaker 4: even us doing this podcast, Uh when.
Speaker 3: Did we start this? Not last season season before?
Speaker 4: Wow, that's that's crazy.
Speaker 3: You know, it's shell shocking.
Speaker 4: And but then you have a guy like Jason Peters
Speaker 4: that came in here, you know, and it's just I
Speaker 4: think it depends too on experience, whether that be football
Speaker 4: life anything, because then you also have guys like Janye
Speaker 4: that absolutely thrives in being a Dallas cowboy and he
Speaker 4: is a younger people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the guys who get it, and again it's temperament.
Speaker 2: Some people don't want the attention, like for example, Layton
Speaker 2: vander esh And I'm not talking about contract, whether he's
Speaker 2: coming back. I'm just talking about him coming in as
Speaker 2: a first round pick.
Speaker 5: He did not do. He does the minimum amount of media.
Speaker 2: That's what he's done in the past, and he's had
Speaker 2: some sponsorship things, but he could have owned this town.
Speaker 2: You know, he could have owned it and had so
Speaker 2: many more sponsorships and the like Ceedee Lamb does quite
Speaker 2: a few. Now he's going to explode nationally, right. So
Speaker 2: the guys that get it and the guys you know,
Speaker 2: they can really take advantage of it. But not everybody
Speaker 2: wants it. That's not Layton's temperament, Sean Lee. He didn't
Speaker 2: really care for that.
Speaker 5: Now. Did he do all the charitable things?
Speaker 2: Did he have the foundation, Yes, but he did it
Speaker 2: behind the sea means and things.
Speaker 5: Like that, and a lot of these guys DAK.
Speaker 2: There's a wonderful story in the Dallas Morning News today.
Speaker 5: Check it out. David Moore wrote it.
Speaker 2: If you can go online through the paywal it's worth
Speaker 2: reading about DAK and what he did with Children's Cancer
Speaker 2: Fund this week. Guys like DAK, they really embrace it.
Speaker 2: Does it pay off monetarily through sponsorships, Yes, But I'm
Speaker 2: telling you because I have hosted many of the events
Speaker 2: that there are so many more things that DAK does
Speaker 2: that are not tell publicity, that are not alevised, that
Speaker 2: are not people don't hear about him.
Speaker 5: He doesn't want you to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's and but again, I would like to give
Speaker 2: one concrete example though, of how things might be different
Speaker 2: here than other teams. What are you guys talking about
Speaker 2: the microscope? How would it affect players? I think an
Speaker 2: obvious example is training camp in California, being out there
Speaker 2: for three and we were gone twenty six days this year.
Speaker 2: So most teams now train at home, including the Houston Texans.
Speaker 2: They don't go off. But here's an example of how
Speaker 2: things are different. When the Cowboys come back and have
Speaker 2: the final week and a half, basically three to four
Speaker 2: practices that are open to the public. By the time
Speaker 2: we get back from training camp, it's mid August, late August.
Speaker 2: Kids are back in school. So the practices that would
Speaker 2: be during the day in Oxnard here in Frisco are
Speaker 2: in the evening so that people can attend.
Speaker 5: Because the first year or two that we did it,
Speaker 5: there was nobody.
Speaker 2: It was during the day on a Thursday morning or
Speaker 2: a Wednesday morning, or excuse me, afternoon, whatever the case,
Speaker 2: and it was nearly empty because guess what summer break
Speaker 2: was over kids were back in school, or it's during
Speaker 2: the work week and so now the past few years
Speaker 2: they've had those practices at night, so it's an adjustment
Speaker 2: of the practice schedule. So that's just I'm trying to
Speaker 2: get a concrete example of Is that a big deal? No,
Speaker 2: but is it different from how other teams do things?
Speaker 2: It's just an example.
Speaker 4: Sure, let's take our first break, because we ran over
Speaker 4: it just a little bit with this conversation. When we
Speaker 4: come back, though, we're talking about a veteran that did
Speaker 4: get resigned?
Speaker 7: Is it?
Speaker 4: Who?
Speaker 6: Do you think?
Speaker 4: We'll discuss it on the other end of this break.
Speaker 4: This is Girls Talk, Boys Talk, presented by Jig Sotha.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back to stick with us.
Speaker 8: We know that juicy, cheesy, grilled to perfection burger sounds amazing,
Speaker 8: but it does sound.
Speaker 6: Like something is missing.
Speaker 5: Pepsi baby, the yin to this burger's yang.
Speaker 8: Burgers and pepsi go together like well, like burgers and pepsi.
Speaker 8: This perfect blending of flavors makes every bite of lettus,
Speaker 8: every sesame seed on the bun, and every sip of
Speaker 8: that crisp refreshing ice cold koola a journey to foutopia.
Speaker 3: Burgers better with pepsi.

Speaker 4: the preferre dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys. Thank you
Speaker 4: Jigsaw Ladies. Aisha Christy, I'm Jess Jazzy Jazz in the
Speaker 4: back for us dazzy.
Speaker 3: We love our jazzy, all right. Let's so, we were
Speaker 3: just talking about Cowboys culture.
Speaker 4: And you know, one of the most interesting topics other
Speaker 4: than Cowboys culture to come off to come up this
Speaker 4: off season is that of the salary cap and contracts
Speaker 4: and deals that need to be done and all of
Speaker 4: that good stuff. The Cowboys re signed veteran DT Carl Davis,
Speaker 4: if you remember, he was signed in the later half
Speaker 4: of the season last year to the practice squad and
Speaker 4: he used up his three elevations.
Speaker 3: Fairly quickly to fill in for Jonathan Hankins. So I
Speaker 3: thought that was interesting.
Speaker 4: Other than that, the franchise tag deadline has come and
Speaker 4: it has gone. It said hello and then it said
Speaker 4: goodbye very quickly, and the Cowboys didn't use THEIRS this
Speaker 4: off season, which was expected.
Speaker 3: We had talked about this a couple of weeks ago that.
Speaker 4: There really wasn't anybody that we could see them putting
Speaker 4: this tag on. So been there, done that, Christy, you
Speaker 4: wanted to talk about some of the tags that were
Speaker 4: used around the league.
Speaker 3: And then speaking of tags to kind of tie it
Speaker 3: back in.
Speaker 4: Obviously we know Tony Pollard was on the franchise tag
Speaker 4: last year. Let's get into that discussion as well.
Speaker 3: But let's go around the league a little bit.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the importance of this tag and kind
Speaker 4: of some names that stood out.
Speaker 2: Well, the main one that stood out to me and
Speaker 2: defensive tackle. You mentioned Carl Davis coming back. Obviously he's
Speaker 2: going to be a depth guy and you know, part
Speaker 2: of the rotation, and yeah, so, but mattabk Justin Matta
Speaker 2: Baka with Baltimore and then the of course, the Chiefs
Speaker 2: tagged their cornerback Lagerius Snead because Chris Jones is available,
Speaker 2: and if they had tagged him with his number, it
Speaker 2: would have been over thirty million dollars.
Speaker 5: So if you.
Speaker 2: Told me, Christie, you could have any free agent this offseason,
Speaker 2: that's the one from Baltimore. Of Course, I'm a Maggie too,
Speaker 2: so I'm a little biased. But when he I'm not
Speaker 2: surprised that they tagged him, but I was like, ah,
Speaker 2: not that the Cowboys, Uh, they would have to do
Speaker 2: a lot of juggling, you know, to be able to
Speaker 2: afford Justin. I think he's going to get probably near
Speaker 2: thirty million dollars a year, certainly in the upper twenties.
Speaker 2: At least, you know, on average. But when I saw that,
Speaker 2: I was like, good for him. I'm happy for him.
Speaker 2: But and I think Baltimore is going to try and
Speaker 2: get a long term deal done with him before the
Speaker 2: July deadline. But when he went on that, I was like, oh, man, yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was watching well yesterday, I mean we saw
Speaker 6: the Bills cut through loose and furniture.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because big timettle busy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're a little busy, and you just kind of
Speaker 6: look at you know, free agency is coming up, and
Speaker 6: I think that teams are, I've particularly the Bill are
Speaker 6: preparing to be able to dismiss the change. You know,
Speaker 6: I think I saw a quarterback get tagged.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, there was not.
Speaker 6: Who was it that guy? There was?
Speaker 3: There's a list.
Speaker 6: There was.
Speaker 7: One.
Speaker 2: You know, Brian Burns is a big one with Carolina.
Speaker 2: You know, uh they list him as an edge rusher,
Speaker 2: but he's one of the top players.
Speaker 5: He would be my second pick after Madam b k.
Speaker 4: But that's why I thought that.
Speaker 6: That's why I thought that a quarterback got tagged. It's
Speaker 6: the Josh Allen for Jacksonville.
Speaker 3: Oh and see that's another He would have been my third.
Speaker 5: He would have been my third. That's okay, my top
Speaker 5: three guys. My brain was like, yeah, that's the past
Speaker 5: rusher for Jacksonville.
Speaker 6: Tagging tagging him.
Speaker 2: I think Josh already has his money.
Speaker 6: Y'all leave me alone.
Speaker 3: Here's another question.
Speaker 2: Note, So with Tony Pollard not getting tagged, he was
Speaker 2: tagged last year, yep. And there's some speculation depending on
Speaker 2: how things go in the.
Speaker 5: Open market for Pollard.
Speaker 2: What do you guys think the chances are that he
Speaker 2: actually comes back to the Cowboys?
Speaker 4: You know what, I think it's higher, much higher than
Speaker 4: we anticipated. And again we talk about guys that kind
Speaker 4: of can handle the pressures of being a Dallas Cowboy.
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard is one of those guys.
Speaker 4: He's not the most vocal guy in the room. He's
Speaker 4: not yelling, he's not he's very self spoken. In fact,
Speaker 4: when we're talking to him in the scrum, I'm like,
Speaker 4: what did you say? Because he's very self spoken. But
Speaker 4: he enjoys being here and he enjoys doing what he
Speaker 4: needs to do to help this team, whether it be hey,
Speaker 4: I'm running back to behind Ezekiel Elliott. Oh, it's my
Speaker 4: turn to step up and be the one guess what
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do it, And it may not have been
Speaker 4: this season we were all expecting and hoping from Tony Pollard,
Speaker 4: but look, I don't see any harm in trying to
Speaker 4: bring him back on a deal that's respectful and reasonable
Speaker 4: for what he wants, what the team can do, especially
Speaker 4: not having figured out Dak's contract situation yet. And then
Speaker 4: you know what, if you want to make that a
Speaker 4: training camp competition of who's actually your starting quarterback, whether
Speaker 4: you are starting running back, I'm sorry, whether you draft one,
Speaker 4: whether you pick up a lot, there's a laundry list
Speaker 4: of free agent running backs you could pick from. Make
Speaker 4: it a competition, or you say, hey, you're going to.
Speaker 3: Step back in the reins of the two and that's
Speaker 3: how we're going to keep it. But I don't think
Speaker 3: there's any harm in bringing him back.
Speaker 4: And you know, I understand the bitter taste in everybody's
Speaker 4: mouth because of the disappointing low number, career low season
Speaker 4: that he had, but look, I get running back as
Speaker 4: a dime a dozen, and the position isn't what it
Speaker 4: used to be, and there's just gosh, the free agents
Speaker 4: that are available. It's almost insane this world we live
Speaker 4: in now that you never thought, YEA, guys like this
Speaker 4: would be available.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a depressed market. Again, it really is.
Speaker 4: Monitor But again I think Tony Pollard's the guy you
Speaker 4: want to keep, especially because you know he can really
Speaker 4: hold up as a running back to and that's valuable.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, obviously when you look at even
Speaker 6: this draft class, you know there are some guys in here.
Speaker 6: But I thought about that recently, is if I'm a
Speaker 6: running back, right, if I'm a I'm in college now,
Speaker 6: I'm going to the draft. When they were in high
Speaker 6: school and they're playing running back, they're thinking about the
Speaker 6: type of money they're gonna make when they get to
Speaker 6: the game and what they could be doing. And now
Speaker 6: to see how the position is very much so by
Speaker 6: committee and things like that. We always look at it as, oh,
Speaker 6: that's good, you can keep guys healthier, you can give
Speaker 6: them more longevity. But no, like you know, total yachters
Speaker 6: on the season and things like that matters, and these
Speaker 6: guys are having to share and exchange reps more than
Speaker 6: they've ever had to do before. So it is something
Speaker 6: that I thought about, and I'm pretty sure it is
Speaker 6: a little disheartening. To some of these young guys coming
Speaker 6: in knowing that hey, babe, after that rookie contract, yeah,
Speaker 6: be careful, it's gonna use you up. Yeah. I'm looking
Speaker 6: like I'm hoping that some of these young guys coming
Speaker 6: in and out in this draft are preparing and putting
Speaker 6: things in place outside of the game because this it's
Speaker 6: just this disposition is and even if you look at
Speaker 6: the position in itself, bebe If you ain't got no
Speaker 6: receiving qualities, it's almost a detriment because teams can take
Speaker 6: you away and take advantage of it.
Speaker 2: And pass protection because because it's this is a passing
Speaker 2: game now, yeah, and if its protect, you are not
Speaker 2: going to be on the field.
Speaker 4: And that's why I think that's something Tony Pollard really
Speaker 4: worked on this season that you can talk about. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he had a career low and rushing yards and yards
Speaker 4: per carry and blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: He was passed. Throwing his butt off out there. I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: And that's something you've seen out.
Speaker 4: Of Tony Pollard in years given you haven't had to
Speaker 4: because you had Ezekiel Elliett.
Speaker 6: I understand.
Speaker 4: But he also made it a point to talk to
Speaker 4: us even at training camp talking about wanting to work
Speaker 4: on his past.
Speaker 2: Pro and they changed up the past pros this year
Speaker 2: for the running backs. That was one of the changes.
Speaker 6: He was very stout, and I think even when you
Speaker 6: look at the pass pro and how much he did
Speaker 6: sacrifice his body, that wears on you. Sure it wears
Speaker 6: on you as the season goes on. Furthermore, there wasn't
Speaker 6: consistency behind him. Nope. So there wasn't early a committee,
Speaker 6: not a steady one, so he took a lot of
Speaker 6: the weight as opposed to you know, some of these
Speaker 6: other teams they've had, they had a committee, so their
Speaker 6: guys were more fresh towards the end of the season.
Speaker 6: And I also will say I'm glad that he said.
Speaker 6: I think it was I don't know what week was it.
Speaker 6: It was later in the season where he was like,
Speaker 6: he admitted, yeah, I'm starting to feel and you could
Speaker 6: see that in his place. You could see the burst
Speaker 6: from him.
Speaker 2: So you could see some he thought was inverted because
Speaker 2: usually you kind of lose.
Speaker 5: It as the season goes left.
Speaker 6: But it was different for him coming off the.
Speaker 4: In traumas to trust it to come back from crazy surprise.
Speaker 4: It's crazy that like a running back needs a healthy
Speaker 4: leg to be successful being a running back.
Speaker 3: That's wild.
Speaker 6: I would definitely bring him back. Also because of the
Speaker 6: scheme this. They implemented a whole new scheme last year
Speaker 6: for a youngin to come in here and have to
Speaker 6: pick up on a whole new scheme by himself. I believe,
Speaker 6: I mean Stevey's transitioning football. People say from running back
Speaker 6: from college to NFL. However, it's still a transition even
Speaker 6: to your point about the past bro and things like that.
Speaker 6: Having him come back could be beneficial. I hope that
Speaker 6: they pair him with one of these stumpers and when
Speaker 6: some of these guys, some of these rookie guys that
Speaker 6: can come in and be powerful in their run game.
Speaker 6: But I really need, and I've been saying on the
Speaker 6: Draft show, I don't care who's running the ball. Maybe
Speaker 6: we need to improve the run game scheme and efficiency
Speaker 6: and execution. That needs to be a point of emphasis
Speaker 6: this off season because a lot of why they weren't
Speaker 6: productive too was because it wasn't that creative. Sometimes.
Speaker 3: Also, did you say over there.
Speaker 6: TV if it wasn't that creative? Oh wow?
Speaker 5: Sometimes?
Speaker 4: Uh, Also, if you want to give Dak Prescott a
Speaker 4: shot at another MVP caliber season.
Speaker 6: You need a solid.
Speaker 4: You want a chance to get past that first round. Well,
Speaker 4: guess what you were missing in against Green Bay?
Speaker 3: A solid run game.
Speaker 4: But guess what we were talking about all season that
Speaker 4: was inconsistent. A solid run game and so everything.
Speaker 3: If you want it all to tie.
Speaker 4: Together with a pretty bow, get off, get over this
Speaker 4: thirty year hump and fix the culture.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Look, you need
Speaker 3: to help your quarterback and giving him a run game.
Speaker 4: Look, especially if you if you want to play this
Speaker 4: game and not give him a contract extension, you want him.
Speaker 3: To play lights out, guess what he needs. It's almost
Speaker 3: like I'm gonna it's.
Speaker 4: It wasn't no play action, wasn't in the room with us.
Speaker 4: It's not a shade to Tony Pollard or Rico Dudel
Speaker 4: or anything they did.
Speaker 3: It was just the most.
Speaker 4: Unproductive scheme, especially when you're coming off of a one
Speaker 4: two punch. Here was Zeke and TP and you know
Speaker 4: what they're capable of doing, right, It's just whatever, fuck,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get off my soapbox.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start getting real, real mad. About these pray
Speaker 3: for a screen game.
Speaker 2: Pray Saints pray. Hey, okay, we've been praying for over
Speaker 2: thirty years.
Speaker 6: We're okay. You know what I thought, Lenae screen game
Speaker 6: was decent. It was, but it was but it was
Speaker 6: only to the right side though, ba we never did
Speaker 6: those greens to the live let me tell you something.
Speaker 4: All right, all right, okay, all right, let's hit our
Speaker 4: next break. When we come back, We're gonna talk a
Speaker 4: little Micah Parsons talk. There was some interesting moves that
Speaker 4: were made. We're gonna talk about why it's not the
Speaker 4: cowboy fault. You can fault them for a lot of
Speaker 4: things if you want to, you want to be that
Speaker 4: kind of fan.
Speaker 3: But this is not. We're going to talk about why.

Speaker 5: Absolutely, so we'll start that.
Speaker 3: We'll start that next.
Speaker 5: My popular demand, the people want, what the people want.
Speaker 3: To give the people what they want. Jesus, she loves you, guys,
Speaker 3: much pressure. We do have a.
Speaker 4: Question from another mic not not to be confused with
Speaker 4: other Mike who sent us a text earlier, and not
Speaker 4: to be confused with Mike McCarthy or Mike Zimmer.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of mics. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, Mike from boss and said, do you
Speaker 4: worry with all the coaches being on basically one year
Speaker 4: deals that maybe they'll make decisions they normally wouldn't make
Speaker 4: if they had more security, maybe on a big game
Speaker 4: decision where normally he made you one thing, but now
Speaker 4: you feel that pressure and makes a bit of a
Speaker 4: rash decision. That's a fantastic question, and it made me
Speaker 4: stop and think for.
Speaker 3: A second, what do you guys think. I'm gonna put
Speaker 3: this up for discussion end game?
Speaker 2: No, But in terms of depth, chart and player evaluation
Speaker 2: and draft, right, yeah, you know, the whole thing here
Speaker 2: is draft and developed draft, developed, draft and develop it.
Speaker 2: But when you're on a one year contract and you
Speaker 2: have a choice between an untested Brookie and a guy
Speaker 2: who's maybe been in your system before or certainly has
Speaker 2: some experience in the NFL, then who are you going
Speaker 2: to go with?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, they're gonna definitely feel a sense of urgency amazone. Yeah,
Speaker 6: you would hope for that they felt the sense of urgency,
Speaker 6: you know, I mean coaches coaching on one year deals
Speaker 6: always sounds like not so good. But I think some
Speaker 6: of these gentlemen might look at it, especially like a Zummer,
Speaker 6: like he hasn't coached in the NFL for a while,
Speaker 6: not a while, but just last year. But it's been
Speaker 6: a year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeahs a year or two minutes.
Speaker 2: Yeah so, but you know, like Eric Kendricks gets released
Speaker 2: by LA right and he played for years, they might
Speaker 2: like it was it Mike's son's funeral, you know, I
Speaker 2: mean he he You know that that would be an
Speaker 2: example upbringing in a guy like that.
Speaker 4: When you saw the dan Quinn wave of guys come in,
Speaker 4: I could see something similar.
Speaker 2: But but it's a great question, Mike, because it really is.
Speaker 2: But again, I just can't see it on game day.
Speaker 2: The other thing would be is if the season goes
Speaker 2: south for some reason, whether it's injuries or just sometime
Speaker 2: the ball done out your way towards the end of
Speaker 2: the year, are guys going to be putting lines out
Speaker 2: to try and you know, if they see the riding
Speaker 2: on the wall, will they be putting some lines out
Speaker 2: to see if maybe they can set something up for
Speaker 2: themselves to.
Speaker 5: Continue their NFL career.
Speaker 2: So that but that would be way, way way down
Speaker 2: the road. But I think more immediately it has to
Speaker 2: do with roster building. But the coaches do have an input.
Speaker 2: They don't have final say, but they do have input.
Speaker 2: And also in terms of who's getting the reps.
Speaker 4: Yeah, real quick, before we run out of time, I
Speaker 4: promised you guys that you couldn't blame the Cowboys for something.
Speaker 3: And let's talk about it.
Speaker 4: Because the Cowboys are picking up the fifth year option
Speaker 4: for Micah Parsons. This option is under defensive end, which
Speaker 4: is a two point seven million dollars less than a
Speaker 4: linebacker would be in the year twenty twenty five. Let's
Speaker 4: talk about it because that fifth year option, the position
Speaker 4: he's designated as, is not in fact determined by the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Christy right, let's uh, let's open this up and let's
Speaker 4: put this to rest, because I keep seeing the arguments
Speaker 4: on Twitter and I'm sick of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's have a good day today.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the league.
Speaker 2: They tally where you played the most, you know, at
Speaker 2: which position during the season he did play the vast
Speaker 2: majority of the season over eighty five percent at defensive end. So, uh,
Speaker 2: linebacker gets more. Uh, but that's because so many of
Speaker 2: the highest paid linebackers are the pass rushing linebackers, right that,
Speaker 2: you know, stand up, you know, pass rush off that
Speaker 2: the edge kind of thing. So edge rushers drives up
Speaker 2: the uh, you know, the average compared to defensive ends.
Speaker 2: So but but really that's ultimately determined by where you
Speaker 2: played the previous season.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 6: Are you sure? I don't have a whole lot to
Speaker 6: comments about it.
Speaker 5: But is he you know he is he an edge rusher?
Speaker 3: Yes? Did he himself an edge rushing line back?
Speaker 6: But he did it? I definitely. With this conversation and
Speaker 6: us knowing this, I'm very curious, especially with his contract
Speaker 6: comeing up next year, I'm curious to see how much
Speaker 6: he is going to play linebacker and zimc Zim's uh function,
Speaker 6: skip scheme offense man and how they operate and use
Speaker 6: him off ball and do some things as well. So
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, he did he played mostly d and
Speaker 6: big bro. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But the other thing is how did they address defensive end?
Speaker 2: Especially if you lose Dolorrance Armstrong and Dante Fowler, it
Speaker 2: may not you know, find necessity. Yeah, and that's the
Speaker 2: thing it's going to be. It's all building the roster
Speaker 2: or injuries right at one spot.
Speaker 6: This is a tough draft to not number one not
Speaker 6: gotten a lot of production from your guys, your guys
Speaker 6: you drafted last year, and they know don't have that
Speaker 6: many picks. I'm praying and fast and that they do
Speaker 6: something to get a fourth round pick. But this is
Speaker 6: a they I feel like they're gonna need some stuff
Speaker 6: truly after this free agency, you know, kind of subsides
Speaker 6: and things. And you guys mentioned you just mentioned to
Speaker 6: two of the depth pieces for d N. Where else
Speaker 6: are they gonna find that? And so to me, I'm
Speaker 6: just I know a lot of people, even with Carl,
Speaker 6: they're like, why there resigning it? They need it if
Speaker 6: you look at the depth of the DT.
Speaker 4: Also Jonathan Hankins, he's technically gonna hit the market.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and he was a key part of this,
Speaker 3: key part of it. You saw what happened when he
Speaker 3: wasn't there.
Speaker 2: And are we counting on Mazie to make a second
Speaker 2: in your leap because it was an underwhelming rookie season.
Speaker 3: You need to can't You need you need him to.
Speaker 3: It's not a can we should, We know he needs to.
Speaker 6: I think you need to be planning.
Speaker 4: Like with the lack of depth, you need to you
Speaker 4: to be planning, Like christ you don't know, Harsh, you
Speaker 4: just don't.
Speaker 3: There's nothing to go off of.
Speaker 4: Truly, there's nothing to go off us off of for
Speaker 4: us to actually know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the defensive front is something. Front seven is something
Speaker 6: that I think, Uh, these guys are gonna take very
Speaker 6: seriously in this draft upcoming. Yes you do one of
Speaker 6: like this wide receiver classes just through the roof might
Speaker 6: put them in some top some tough spots. I think
Speaker 6: obviously the tackle class is just through the roof at
Speaker 6: the top level. There's a lot of talent there, but
Speaker 6: it's I think it is going to be important for
Speaker 6: them to kind of look at d END and DT
Speaker 6: maybe later rounds and see if they can find some
Speaker 6: guys that can come in and be productive immediately. They
Speaker 6: need production from guys this draft class at least the
Speaker 6: top three immediately.
Speaker 4: My question for you, Christy, gave you some homework class
Speaker 4: week right when we were talking about the combine. We
Speaker 4: didn't really get to get into that discussion too much. However,
Speaker 4: for the last few minutes, let's have you uh reveal
Speaker 4: your your homework to the class and will give you
Speaker 4: a grade uh whenever we think.
Speaker 5: You did great.
Speaker 3: Now I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the harsh teacher.
Speaker 6: All right, I got a couple of guys.
Speaker 3: What are your notes from the combine?
Speaker 4: And who should the people keep an eye out for
Speaker 4: since they want to ask you draft questions?
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 6: Honestly, these are these guys are a little random. I
Speaker 6: mean brayln Island from Wisconsin running back. He's not he's
Speaker 6: people know who he is. This guy's like a baby tank, y'all.
Speaker 6: And not like baby tank like DeMarcus Lawrence. Like he
Speaker 6: runs like a baby tank like. He's not that big
Speaker 6: in stature, but he runs really downhill and he's physical.
Speaker 6: He does have vision and foot quickness to cut back
Speaker 6: and follow lineman. He I think he does a good
Speaker 6: well a good job sitting on the lineman's hip and
Speaker 6: follow him through blocks. He doesn't possess a lot of
Speaker 6: lateral agility, so he's not jump cutting all crazy and
Speaker 6: doing all this up and just bounce into the outside.
Speaker 6: But when you when you when he runs, you feel him,
Speaker 6: you feel his presence.
Speaker 5: He's powerful so short yardage shortage.
Speaker 6: Yes, he does have some some some good topping speed,
Speaker 6: and he can explode through contact as well. This is
Speaker 6: a guy that constantly is falling forward and us.
Speaker 8: Yes.
Speaker 6: He I think he plays with just enough patience, just
Speaker 6: enough patience to allow things to open up in form,
Speaker 6: because sometimes you see guys in the running backs where you're
Speaker 6: just like, go now, you wait too long. No, I
Speaker 6: think he's just patient enough to get some production there.
Speaker 6: I think guys would just get tired of tackling his ass.
Speaker 6: They like he he is one of those gentlemen, and
Speaker 6: he's a tank. A lot of the conversation of the
Speaker 6: combine was like, this guy is just built, like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: I think he's Yeah, he's like thick legs and very.
Speaker 4: Thick sounds familiar, very sick stature.
Speaker 6: I don't know why I did not right.
Speaker 5: Now, that's all right, but stout thick.
Speaker 6: Yes, absolutely, he's six.
Speaker 2: Yes, Wow, that's bigger than a lot of linebackers.
Speaker 3: So he's just a I think this is a guy.
Speaker 6: I don't know how high he's gonna go. He did
Speaker 6: not run his forty at the combine, which again, if
Speaker 6: these guys show, some of these gentlemen like to just
Speaker 6: do their Prota workouts and go about their business. But
Speaker 6: I think that's going to be important seeing what his
Speaker 6: forty is. But if you look at the tape, he's
Speaker 6: just a punishing guy with some explosiveness and the ability
Speaker 6: to get to the second level and do some things.
Speaker 6: But I just think he's one of those gentlemen that
Speaker 6: you can hit him with your speedback and then when
Speaker 6: you hit him with this guy, they're gonna be like
Speaker 6: bro sit him down, like people are going to try
Speaker 6: to take advantage of when he is not on the field.
Speaker 6: Second guy got listen. One thing that I think that
Speaker 6: I think was underrated last year, and we didn't talk
Speaker 6: about enough with special teams and how special teams covered
Speaker 6: suffered when C. J. Goodwin got hurt and that there
Speaker 6: was just some issue there and cover there was some
Speaker 6: issue there with returns. Gentleman that was at the at
Speaker 6: the what was it the Shrine Bowl, Steel Chambers Lionbacker.
Speaker 6: I was able to speak to him briefly and get
Speaker 6: to know him. He's a hell of a personality. You
Speaker 6: see him with his bandana's line and all his his
Speaker 6: sleeves and all this stuff. He's very expressive. A lot
Speaker 6: of people talked about at the combine just how much
Speaker 6: of a personality is and how he's gonna win you over.
Speaker 6: But this dude, he might be friendly out there, but
Speaker 6: when he's on the field, he's a hard hitter. He's
Speaker 6: still learning the linebacker position because he's a former running back. Interesting,
Speaker 6: which is insane, but he is. He's he's a former
Speaker 6: running back.
Speaker 2: I bet, I bet he can diagnose plays, and it's
Speaker 2: a way that's different from other guys.
Speaker 5: He only played defense.
Speaker 6: Yes, like he can't. He's six six two, so he
Speaker 6: has good.
Speaker 2: Side so smaller than the guy he's tackling. Yeah, rookie can't.
Speaker 5: So I didn't tackle.
Speaker 6: So I think any team that brings him in is
Speaker 6: gonna have to help him develop and things like that.
Speaker 6: He has a high moor motor. He's a decisive, physical tackler,
Speaker 6: and he's also has like a relentless pursuit. Again, I
Speaker 6: think that's gonna come in handy with special teams. I
Speaker 6: think this guy, of course, you want him to eventually
Speaker 6: play linebacker and be able to play the game. I
Speaker 6: definitely think he can. He has a lot of quickness,
Speaker 6: the process and all that stuff. But man, as a
Speaker 6: special teams player, he could be your ace. He could
Speaker 6: be your he could be your gunner. I think he
Speaker 6: could be a difference maker or even like a personal protector.
Speaker 6: I think he could be a key position for a
Speaker 6: team special for a special teams player, because he's just
Speaker 6: heavy enough to be forceful, but just light enough to
Speaker 6: be able to run and move and things like that.
Speaker 2: So so what DeMar Von Overshown was supposed to be
Speaker 2: last season before he got injured.
Speaker 6: Ohio State. By the way, Ohio State still Chambers linebacker
Speaker 6: out of Ohio State. Interesting player, good, that's what we want.
Speaker 2: We want nuggets and the you know players that we did,
Speaker 2: and he should be.
Speaker 6: There in the later rounds. I think he's not. He's
Speaker 6: not gonna go super high. He's not, but people who
Speaker 6: get them, this is a fiery player, and I think
Speaker 6: he can immediately make your special teams better.
Speaker 2: And the kind of personality that would I would love
Speaker 2: him some bones.
Speaker 6: Oh I love him some bones death. But I think
Speaker 6: they need that help. I think special teams took a
Speaker 6: step back last year.
Speaker 4: Also, it had to because of all the shifting all
Speaker 4: of the injuries did on special teams, so people were
Speaker 4: playing positions that they've never played before and they're learning
Speaker 4: on the spot.
Speaker 2: And this time next week we may be having a
Speaker 2: conversation about changes in the kickoffs and so special teams
Speaker 2: could be really, really key because kickoffs are coming back
Speaker 2: in the NFL if the owners vote for some of
Speaker 2: these things that John Fossil has been presenting to the
Speaker 2: competition committee.
Speaker 4: All right, guys, well, our time is up here. I
