Now, does that 76 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 6: mean instantly that the Cowboys don't have to do any 77 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 6: work to get him the personnel he. 78 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: Needs, No, Nona, not what that means at home? All right, they. 79 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 6: Still need to do their personnel work free agency and 80 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 6: in the draft to get him guys, but it does 81 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 6: give you a lot of promise for a guy like 82 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 6: Savon Revel. Once he's completely healthy and he gets a 83 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 6: full off season under his belt, this will be now 84 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 6: a first off season healthy and under Christian Parker. 85 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: So this is a clean slate for a guy like 86 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: Savul Rebel. I like those words. Patrick. 87 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 7: Now turning to Isaiah, what were your first reactions whenever 88 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 7: we signed Christian Parker to be our defensive coordinator. Didn't 89 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 7: know who he was. Tell you straight up, before the 90 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 7: coaching search, I had no idea who he. 91 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: Was, had no idea who he was. 92 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 3: But after extensive research and tapping in with my resources, 93 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: I've gained an understanding for who he is, a respect 94 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 3: and a high regard for what he's done. His climb 95 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,119 Speaker 3: quickly ranks, Yep, quickly. That's something we were talking about. 96 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: You know. 97 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 3: Obviously I was in on some of the old school cats, 98 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 3: that the old ways, but I also said, if they 99 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 3: don't go that way, they need to grab one of 100 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 3: these young tender loins that that can connect with this generation, right, 101 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: Because that was one of the conversations we had. His 102 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 3: ability ability to connect with the guys in the locker room. 103 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 7: We were talking about that from the beginning. No matter 104 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 7: who the candidate was, it needed to be a guy 105 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 7: that could relate to the players and coach them up 106 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 7: in that way and teach them. 107 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 3: And everything that I've heard about this man is just 108 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: that right. Ability to connect, his ability to teach, the 109 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 3: ability to not only just teach, but those for it 110 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 3: to be receptive. So those guys are receiving what he's 111 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 3: teaching and excited about working with him. So I am 112 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: now excited going back and looking at some of the coverages. 113 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 3: Love that, love that, I love everything about that. But 114 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 3: now you know, my you know, after the excitement kind 115 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: of wears off. Now you know, I look towards the support. 116 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: I look towards the support and the staff. All. 117 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: Let me say this. I am. 118 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 3: You know, obviously it is. This person is of greater 119 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 3: age than I am. But I can still be proud 120 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 3: of somebody that's older than I Am proud of mister 121 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 3: double J. I am proud of Double J. I'm proud 122 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 3: of Stephen Jones. 123 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 7: It sounds like they're changing their tune a little bit. 124 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 3: It's not even just the tune, it is they're listening. 125 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 3: They're listening. And when you're in a position of power 126 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 3: where you have the all mighty hand right and all 127 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: you know, they'll all all say the you can listen, right, 128 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 3: or you can hear people, but you don't have to 129 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 3: listen to them. 130 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: And you can't hear Jimmy. 131 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't hear jim can I So I mean listening, yeah, 132 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 3: cowboys exactly. But two, over this last year, we've seen 133 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 3: a change in the front office. Over this last year, 134 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 3: we've seen those guys be more willing to stand on 135 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 3: business in regards to the people that they believe in 136 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 3: and people they don't believe in. We've seen them stand 137 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 3: on business in terms of going out and acquiring free agents. 138 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: We've seen them stand on business in terms of making 139 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 3: trades and being more aggressive in that regard. And now 140 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 3: we're seeing them stand on business and change the ways 141 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 3: in which they have hired and all these things are 142 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 3: in are indicative to the fact that they have their 143 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 3: eyes open and they are humbling themselves to understand that 144 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: the old ways haven't worked and we have to adapt. 145 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 7: Let me say this really quickly, though, I don't think 146 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 7: it was. It's not a night and day transition, because 147 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 7: they did start off last season doing something very interesting 148 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 7: in hiring Schottenheimer, which was not the sexy pick. It 149 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 7: was not the guy that was very unconventional for the Cowboys. 150 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 7: But then they also hired Matt Eberflus to be your DC, 151 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 7: a known guy with head coaching experience. So this is 152 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 7: a project that they've done many times before. 153 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: It didn't work out. 154 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 7: So now, at least for me, it's not necessarily indicative 155 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 7: of the Joneses and the front office listening to That's 156 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 7: what I mean. It's like it is indicative of them 157 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 7: listening to what Shody has to say, because I think 158 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 7: they picked the right guy for sure. I think they 159 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 7: picked Shoddy as a difference maker for the culture and 160 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 7: for the Dallas Cowboys. 161 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 3: As a whole. 162 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 7: But now they gained his trust throughout this season. Obviously 163 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 7: ebraflues didn't work out, they accepted it. It's like, Okay, 164 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 7: now we're onto our fourth, fourth DC in four years. 165 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 7: So now the extensive exhaustive search that was taking place 166 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 7: for this DC, because we heard about all the names 167 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 7: that were brought to us over the several weeks that 168 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 7: the interviews were taking place. I mean, for me, like 169 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 7: we talked about, the most obvious at the time was 170 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 7: Arizona coordinator Jonathan Jonathan Cannon Gannon, who was head coach 171 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 7: for the Cardinals over the last few seasons. That was 172 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 7: the most obvious because it's like, oh, yes, head coaching experience, 173 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 7: there's some relations there that Okay, there it is. There's 174 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 7: the pick, right, except things are different now because of 175 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 7: the trust that they have and shoddy And it wasn't 176 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 7: just Jonathan Gannon or else that would have been it, right, 177 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 7: It would have been maybe two or three guys like that, 178 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 7: and then it's like, okay, let's go with Gannon. It 179 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 7: was an extensive search and exhaustive search. That word has 180 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 7: been used quite a bit by the front office, by 181 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 7: Will McClay, by Stephen Jones, and it's accurate. And there 182 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 7: was a lot of names flying around and guys that 183 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 7: you wouldn't expect the Dallas Cowboys to interview in a 184 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 7: position like this prior to this offseason. 185 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: So I like that. 186 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 7: I'm kind of interested now in what type of DC 187 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 7: Christian Parker will be because now he's as a play caller, 188 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 7: because this is his first time calling plays, and he's 189 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 7: coming from the Fangio tree, which has proven to be 190 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 7: pretty successful. 191 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: Blue print. 192 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 7: It's a blueprint. So I ask you, guys, teacher has 193 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 7: been brought up a lot. What kind of DC will 194 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 7: Christian Parker be? 195 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be a single high safety, low 196 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 3: the box. You're not going to run the ball on us, 197 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: and we're gonna trust our defensive backs to be able 198 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 3: to cover your guys. 199 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: That's what I foresee, and that's a Fangio defense. 200 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, too, high shell, light box, make the QB take 201 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 7: the checkdown on corners, can tackle, safeties, can rotate. 202 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 6: That's basically what to that point kind of circling back, 203 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 6: because yes, that means you're going to ask a lot 204 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 6: of your cornerbacks in that single high safety a lot. 205 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 6: That means that you, the DC and your position coaches 206 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 6: have to excel at teaching and developing, which means you 207 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 6: have to make sure all of the information that you're 208 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 6: giving forth is digestible and that you're connecting. Those two 209 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 6: things were severely lacking in the one year Eberflus era, 210 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 6: and they have to be capable, and they have to 211 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 6: be capable, So that goes back to what I said initially. 212 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 6: Does this mean instantly that Christian Parker is going to 213 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 6: solve all the issues? No, that means we'll see if 214 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 6: he's the right guy for the job. But feels as 215 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 6: if he is. He is proven, he's a fast riser. 216 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 6: But you have to get him the pieces. You have 217 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 6: to get him the personnel. If those two things jive up, 218 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 6: will and you get these position coaches lined up the 219 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 6: right way. We're seeing some real interesting names coming down 220 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 6: the pike as far as these interviews for these position coaches. 221 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 6: And that's another thing you could see the Schottenheimer and 222 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 6: now the Christian Parker effect on let me build this 223 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 6: defensive staff as I see fit, and I can get 224 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 6: some things done for you. 225 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. 226 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 7: But one thing that I've heard, well, outstanding teacher, that 227 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 7: was a quote from Stephen Jones about one of he's 228 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 7: interviewing Christian Parker. That was one thing that they brought up. 229 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 7: But another thing that they brought up in terms of 230 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 7: using the pieces that we currently have to make the 231 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 7: defense better. 232 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: At the end of the this is from Stephen Jones. 233 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 7: At the end of the day, it was Christian's vision 234 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 7: the wrinkles he can bring that would fit the pieces 235 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 7: we have in place, And a few of those names 236 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 7: popped up. He's talking about Savone Revel, talked about Demarvin 237 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 7: overshown as pieces that are currently here that can work 238 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 7: with Christian Parker's vision. I'm I'm thankful to hear those 239 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 7: words because a lot of these players I think didn't 240 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 7: have a fair shake. I think Savon Revel's season was 241 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 7: tumultuous at best, but I think a lot of that 242 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 7: was the communication with with Kaylen Carson. 243 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm in greatest game. He just got yanked. 244 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 7: But a name that wasn't brought up, a name that 245 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 7: wasn't brought up by the front office by Shaddy. You're 246 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 7: not really necessarily hearing that, but Shavone Revel was a 247 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 7: big one. 248 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 6: That Yeah, And I think that really quickly, Melvin, If 249 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 6: you want to know, the biggest negative is the obvious, 250 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 6: which is he's never called plays before. That's so that 251 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 6: means TBD on his ability to call plays, and that 252 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 6: also means they will be growing pains as he learns 253 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 6: how to grow plays and learns how to you know, 254 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 6: what plays. It's called situationally, So Melvin and all those wondering. Yes, 255 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 6: we're talking about the positives right now, but we cannot 256 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 6: stress enough the glaring I don't want to say negative, 257 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 6: but the glaring question mark, which is can he and 258 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 6: how quickly can he develop his play calling ability? So 259 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 6: that's obvious, but personnel is going to be key. What 260 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 6: I like what Steven said there, but the reporter and 261 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 6: me flips it the other way and says, Okay, Now 262 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 6: my question becomes, does that mean that you're not going 263 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 6: to be aggressive and acquiring new guys? Because I fear 264 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 6: having covered this team for so long that I love 265 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 6: the Shoddy effect right now. I love it twenty twenty 266 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 6: six and beyond. Not a good bit in twenty five, 267 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 6: but not on the defensive side of the ball. Becausett 268 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 6: eber Fluss was the front office higher but now in 269 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 6: twenty twenty six we're getting. 270 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: The full Shoddy effect. 271 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 6: How much of that is going to continue to extend 272 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 6: to making trades like they did for George Pickens and 273 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 6: Quinn Williams and bringing in guys like Javonte Williams, who 274 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 6: was a risk at the time. And our good friend 275 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 6: Isaiah stanmbeckxtill on the table and said these guys are 276 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 6: going to be something for the Cowboys, and he was 277 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 6: absolutely right. But that level of aggression in free agency 278 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 6: needs to continue, if not ratchet up just a little 279 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 6: bit because as it stands, this defensive personnel keeping in mind, 280 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 6: you have a good bit of these guys going into 281 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 6: free agency right now as well, Donovan Wilson being one 282 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 6: that come to mind immediately. What's the development of mayor 283 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 6: Stofile now look like under Christian Parker for example? 284 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: So because they need fast linebackers and. 285 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 6: Snail wise, you got you got some got some questions 286 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 6: that need to be answered. 287 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 7: One question that I wanted to ask at least is expectations. 288 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 7: You kind of touched on it as well. I mean, 289 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 7: this is a first time play color as far as 290 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 7: a coordinator role for him goes. Would you say that 291 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 7: he's here to raise the floor or actually touch like 292 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 7: top five defenses in the league right now? Like, what 293 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 7: do you think the expectations. 294 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: Are for year one? Yeah? What are yours? Just personally? 295 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 7: What are mid tier middle? Yeah that's not a little 296 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 7: take too. If you have a top tier offense. 297 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 3: I mean yeah, if you if you get top sixteen, 298 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 3: if your top six we said this right to talk 299 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 3: about if we say this on Talking Cowboy, Yeah, if 300 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 3: you're top sixteen, top fifteen and all all around defense 301 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 3: and you can be top five and takeaways, I'll tell 302 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 3: you yeah, I'll take it because to know, seas points 303 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: are a very valid point. 304 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: There's gonna be growing pains. 305 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 3: There's there's gonna be things that happen this year or 306 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 3: you're like, what in the entire heck was he doing? 307 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: Bro Like, you know, and it may cost you some games. 308 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 3: You know, it may cost some games, but guess what, 309 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 3: that's a part of growth. And when you hire somebody 310 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 3: who's thirty four years old, who's gonna be who's around 311 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 3: the age of some of the guys that you have 312 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 3: on the roster, there's gonna be growing pains. 313 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: Right. 314 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 3: He has to learn too, you know, there's some young 315 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 3: bucks that are on the team. There's some young coaches 316 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: that are now on a team. So he's gonna have 317 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 3: to learn, and you're gonna have to have grace while 318 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 3: he's learning. And that's a part of something that the 319 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 3: ownership group understands. 320 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: Right. 321 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 3: We understand the upside, the potential upside, but while there's 322 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 3: great upside, there's gonna be some some speed bumps along 323 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 3: the way. 324 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 6: I feel like I love what Isaiah's saying here. Let's 325 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 6: timper the expectations. We love to high. There's a huge 326 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 6: question mark on what does his play calling look like. 327 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 6: How quickly can he get past these growing pains, because 328 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 6: there will be growing pains. 329 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to. 330 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 6: Give him a year one grace period in saying that 331 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 6: if he can land at number fifteen, if the defense 332 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 6: can come in ranked fifteenth overall, and the offense can 333 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 6: take strides over what they were last year, because they 334 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 6: were prolific last year, but they had pockets of times 335 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 6: where they went cold. First it was first halfs of games, 336 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 6: and then it was second halves of games, and a 337 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 6: large part due to the defense, large part doe to 338 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 6: the defense. But if Shoty can learn from his growing pains, 339 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 6: because Shoty had growing pains as well last year, if 340 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 6: the offense can become better, you give them a mid 341 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 6: tier defense in twenty twenty six, you're in the playoffs 342 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 6: and possibly at the divisional round, may be a conference 343 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 6: I don't know. But what I'm saying is a fifteenth 344 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 6: ranked defense I think is very possible.

I hope that you 449 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 3: retain Linda Wells. I hope that he. 450 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: Says, no, I'm staying here. 451 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 3: But if you're Linda Wells and you have opportunity to 452 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 3: go play for a coach that you played underneath, you 453 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 3: have the opportunity to go play for another great organization, 454 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 3: go coach for another great organization. 455 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: You have a great tight. 456 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 3: End room over there as well to work with, and 457 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 3: you have office of coordinator position where you're one step 458 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 3: closer to being a head coach. And you don't really 459 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 3: have to be the office of coordinator. You just get 460 00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 3: the title and you get the like. 461 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 7: And behind the head coach who was already long in 462 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 7: the tooth may not be sticking around. 463 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: It's a great lot I don't know. I'm not trying 464 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: to pump it up. 465 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 3: Obviously, this is cowboys talking, but the reality is you're 466 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 3: most likely going to say bide him as well. So too, 467 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:17,479 Speaker 3: one great coach is gone that everybody in that room loves. Obviously, 468 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 3: he was up for defensive coordinator positions. He didn't get 469 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 3: that for where he's going. 470 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 7: He interviewed here for DC, Yes he did. We talked 471 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 7: about that. 472 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, so it's said about those departures. 473 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 7: Of course, that that departure, but this guy isn't falling. 474 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 7: Anytime a new defensive court or a new coordinator is 475 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 7: hired anywhere in the league, the league turn turns over 476 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 7: about thirty to fifty percent of their staff. 477 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it just happened. So I was hopeful. 478 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 3: And again this is understanding what the ownership is in 479 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 3: position to do. Yes, some times obviously we blocked right 480 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 3: mister Jones and the Jones family. 481 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: They made on Clayton Adams. Yeah, clay await, buddy, they 482 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: tried to get Clayton Adams. 483 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 7: No, I mean, to be fair, he probably was like, 484 00:21:58,560 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 7: go ahead and blocked at them. 485 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 3: But was I'm good on the only reason why they 486 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 3: were able to block it is because it was an 487 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 3: adjacent move. Yes, right, it was offensive coordinator to offensive coordinator, right, 488 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 3: So that why is that's why they had the power 489 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 3: to block it. They don't have the power to block 490 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 3: Aaron Aaron Whitecotton, who was getting the d line position 491 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 3: in Tennessee, but he's also getting the promotion to the 492 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 3: to the rush run game coordinator, right, so he got 493 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 3: a promotion entitle Linda Wells is the tight end coach 494 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 3: for Dallas Cowboys. He's not going potentially going to go 495 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 3: interview for a tight ends position coach in Pittsburgh. He's 496 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 3: going to go interview for the offensive coordinator position under 497 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 3: coach McCarthy, who he already coached under. 498 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 7: So is it know anything about McCarthy hires his Buddyes, 499 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 7: so is it an interview? 500 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 3: So so anyway, so that's that's that. 501 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: But about these new guys. 502 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 7: About these new guys, Patrick, give us the rundown, please, 503 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 7: all right? 504 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 6: So I will say I'm waiting on confirmation for this. 505 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 6: I know that there's some critible reports out there from 506 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 6: some of our folks that are on the beat, like 507 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 6: Todd Archier, for example, who spoke that the Cowboys are 508 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 6: finalizing to deal with Arizona Cardinals cornerbacks coach Ryan Smith. 509 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: I'm told it's in the works. 510 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 6: Told it's not done quite yet, so put a pen 511 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 6: in that waiting for that to become official or at 512 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 6: least agreed to terms. So it's not been agreed to 513 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 6: terms yet, but he is in the building, so that's 514 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 6: a possible addition. Promising. I will say young. He's in 515 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 6: his early forties, mid forties, so still on the new 516 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 6: guard type space. 517 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: Right, modern minds. Right, this is also a guy. 518 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 6: Who you know in college he coached took Kalt Farley 519 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 6: with a Virginia Tech so and then of course you 520 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 6: know that when you're looking at the Cardinals defense, particularly 521 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 6: their passing defense, they were the number one defense in 522 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 6: the league as far as far as fewest passing touchdowns allowed. 523 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 6: They only had ten last year. That was the lowest 524 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 6: amount in the entire league. So if you combine him 525 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,959 Speaker 6: with Christian Parker's ability to develop defensive backs and cornerbacks, 526 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 6: you might be cooking with some fish grease there. 527 00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 7: Alright, I'll right listen to a coach with a secondary 528 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 7: background on cornerback coaches, but love that. 529 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 6: Now, as far as some well going to the departures 530 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 6: really quickly. Aaron Whitecott and we just talked about that. 531 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 6: Assistant offensive line coach Ramon chen Young. He is reportedly 532 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 6: headed to guess where the Pittsburgh Steelers to reunite, see 533 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 6: where you're going with it, to reunite with Mike McCarthy. 534 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 6: So Cowboys need to handle that on the offensive side 535 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 6: of the ball and potentially Lounda Wells's vacancy if Lunda 536 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 6: takes that job now as far as going back to 537 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 6: defense pending, these are the guys who are being interviewed. 538 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 6: Zach Or Raven's defensive coordinator. He was interviewed in the 539 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 6: defensive coordinator process for the Cowboys. Seen in the building 540 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 6: multiple multiple time, multiple times, multiple day with multiple days, 541 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 6: not just multiple times, multiple damultiple days. He and his family, 542 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 6: his significant other and their beautiful young child. They were 543 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 6: in the building multiple days during the defensive coordinator search 544 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 6: to the point where I figured that he was going to. 545 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 2: Right. 546 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 6: As it turns out, there's some still love and mutual 547 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 6: interest there because he's interviewing it for this is home, yeah, 548 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 6: and it is that's this is a U and T guy, 549 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 6: young family, right, young family, U and T guy Kyle 550 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 6: is here, then I let him call call so zach. 551 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: Orr, that's a new call for him, zach Orr. 552 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 6: Of he's one that's interviewing again for a possible position 553 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 6: coach role. Robert Livingston. Uh, this is real quick backpedal 554 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 6: on zach Arr. 555 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, this would be a downgrade for him in title 556 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 3: and we never know what the coaches make, so let's 557 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 3: lay that out there. But I don't know what they 558 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 3: would do back in wise contract. 559 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 7: But there was a there was a tumultuous end to 560 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 7: his uh in Baltimore. 561 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: In Baltimore. 562 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, and at least if you go on Twitter, it's 563 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 7: he's not a good pick because. 564 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: Everyone thinks he sucks. 565 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying, uh, in terms of Twitter talk. 566 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 7: But then again, this is a well respected coach in 567 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 7: the NFL. That I mean, the Ravens are always expected 568 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 7: to be top five defenses in the league. So I 569 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 7: think you got to get this guy some grace and 570 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 7: not thing went right for the Bultra. 571 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 6: And not just that, but also the reality of it 572 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 6: is we talk a lot about how sometimes a head 573 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 6: coach is better served as a coordinator, right, not every 574 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 6: coordinator needs to be a head coach. 575 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: Well, not every position coach needs to be a coordinator. 576 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 6: And then sometimes a coordinator might be in a situation 577 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 6: that's non conducive for them, be it personnel or ownership 578 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 6: or whatever, and then they kind of downgrade to a 579 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 6: position coach and that's a better fit, and they rebuild 580 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 6: themselves and they end up in a coordinator role in 581 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 6: the next couple of years. 582 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 3: And again I bring this up again. I don't know 583 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 3: this man's family, but I do know that the baby 584 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 3: was in a stroller, right. 585 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: Young family. Maybe he doesn't want all the responsibilities of 586 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: being a coordinator. It's a lot comes with it, a lot. 587 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 7: More time just speculating, But yeah, I'm speculating. 588 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. It was amazed both speculation. This 589 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: is where fathers conversation time matters. 590 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 6: So Robert Livingston going back to him really quickly the 591 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 6: defensive side of the ball. This feels like the Connor 592 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 6: Riley move right because Robert Livingston will be coming from 593 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 6: Colorado as a defensive coordinator. The only difference is Livingston 594 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 6: actually has a little bit of NFL experience before he 595 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 6: went to Colorado. But the fact is if he comes 596 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 6: on board, then Shotty and the Cowboys and Parker are 597 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 6: pulling him from the collegiate ranks the position group. Good question, 598 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 6: Good question. Same with Zach Orr TBD. I thought Zach 599 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 6: Orr was for linebackers, That's what I heard. 600 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: You might be right. 601 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 6: I'll double check that because he's not the only one. 602 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 6: Ronelle Williams, assistant linebackers coach for the Eagles. We talked 603 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 6: about coaching Eagles defensive coaches. We got Christian Parker in 604 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 6: the building, jokes on you. Well, apparently they're not done 605 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 6: because Christian Parker reached back and said, hey, let's see 606 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 6: if we can get Ronelle Williams, the Eagles assistant linebackers coach, 607 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 6: in the building as well. 608 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: So you hotline blank. 609 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why I say put a pin in because 610 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 6: I heard the same thing you heard about or but 611 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 6: I'm curious as to because I feel like if it's 612 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 6: a lateral move, the Eagles are going to be pissed 613 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 6: off enough to say, no, we couldn't block you on, Parker, 614 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 6: We're not letting you take Ronelle Williams from assistant linebackers 615 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 6: coach to assistant linebackers coach. There has to be a 616 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 6: promotion there involved some yeah, and if he is coming 617 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 6: in as linebackers coach, then I don't see that. I 618 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 6: don't see Zach Or going from DC to assistant linebacker anything. 619 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 6: So it'll be interesting to see how that works out. 620 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 6: Marcus Dixon, Vikings defensive line coach. His contract ended at 621 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 6: the start of this offseason. He was in the mix 622 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 6: a little bit for defensive coordinators, still in the mix 623 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 6: for defensive line coach, especially now that Aaron Whitecotton is 624 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 6: out of the building. So recap Zach Or, Robert Livingston, 625 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 6: Marcus Dixon run now Williams all being interviewed. 626 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: For position coachingmate. 627 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 6: Ryan Smith is, I'm told nearing a finalization of a 628 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 6: contract to become the cowboys new cornerbacks coach under Christian Parker. 629 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 6: So those are your updates. A lot of moving pieces, 630 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 6: so just stay tuned as we get new information. 631 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: And Marcus Dixon is a fast rising coach and he's 632 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: team I was going to say, tell me what tell 633 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: the people what you text me? Yeah, MD. 634 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 3: Argus Dixon was my teammate here in Dallas. I believe 635 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 3: it was like an eight. He was my teammate. Big 636 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 3: fellow young you know young obviously same age as me, 637 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 3: energetic and can really connect. 638 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: He's a real one. He's he's one of those straight shooters. 639 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 3: And when you have a coach that can, that's played it, 640 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 3: and he had a solid career too. I think he 641 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 3: played predit jets and moved around a little bit, but 642 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 3: he played a position. He can connect. He can talk 643 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 3: to these cats, he can meet them where the ad. 644 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 3: He can talk to them in a way that older 645 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 3: guys can't necessarily talk to him with, you know, at 646 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 3: and be respected and received. 647 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 7: So he's he's seems like a reoccurring theme with this 648 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 7: coaching stuff. 649 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 3: Listen, my last time see him, I saw him on 650 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 3: the field when we're doing a pregame show against the Vikings, 651 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 3: and he walked he was walking around the. 652 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: Field and I was like, MD, He's like, man, what's up. 653 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: It's just instant connection. 654 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 3: Just it's always good to see old teammates doing well 655 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 3: in terms of the coaching ranks. But I love hearing 656 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 3: his name affiliated with the Cowboys again. 657 00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: That's great. 658 00:29:58,720 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 4: Man. 659 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 7: Okay, let's take our last break. When the coaching staff 660 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 7: is solidified.

One of those 713 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: picks are going to be a defensive player. You think so, 714 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: I can tell you that much. 715 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 7: Steven Jones said that they're putting the board together just 716 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 7: like they always are. 717 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: Give me, both of them have a PASTAVI both full. 718 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: I honestly, this is my honest thoughts. Please, that's all 719 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: we asked for. 720 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 3: I believe that mister Jones, Stephen Jones, that is, likes 721 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 3: to keep things in his pocket. 722 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: Doesn't like to spend it per se. 723 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 3: If I had to guess, I think that you use 724 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 3: your first draft pick, first round draft pick, and you 725 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 3: trade away your second to acquire more picks, because I 726 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,959 Speaker 3: think they what you were just hearing what you what 727 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 3: you what you were communicating to us? There no see 728 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 3: in regards to Stephen Jones talking about using what we 729 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 3: have and like you continue to hear the language right 730 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 3: in terms of hey, like I don't want to spend It. 731 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: Ain't all about we utilized what we already got in 732 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: the crib? Is it ready to the refrigerator at home? 733 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: We got food at the crib, you know McDonald's going 734 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: out to eat, you know we have at home pie? Yeah, yeah, 735 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: don't start with the conversation. 736 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 6: So I foresee them using the first draft pick on 737 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 6: the defensive player to give Parker what he. 738 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 1: Feels that he needs, because that's your new coach. 739 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 3: And then I think that they or they grab something position, 740 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 3: you know, a position of need, whatever is most evident 741 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 3: at that time, and then they trade away that second 742 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 3: first round pick to go acquire you know, a couple 743 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 3: of thirds or fourth or whatever it might be. 744 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 7: Do you think because of his background as a secondary coach, 745 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 7: does that mean we attack secondary more No, more so 746 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 7: than a pass rusher or so you finished? 747 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 6: No, please let me finish. Yeah, No, I think you attack. 748 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 6: And this is why it's great that you got two 749 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 6: picks in the first round. I think you do attack, 750 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 6: especially with Christian Parker. I think cornerback was on the table, 751 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 6: not even I think cornerback was on the table for 752 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 6: Christian Parker, now even more so with Christian Parker in 753 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 6: the build. Yes, but the beauty of it is, because 754 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 6: you have two first round picks, you get your pass 755 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 6: rusher and you get your cornerback. Now that be as 756 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 6: what Isaiah's saying, very well, it's very well that you know, 757 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 6: possible that the Cowboys could use one of those picks 758 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 6: moved back into the later in the first round, maybe 759 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 6: into the second second, get some more picks because they 760 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 6: don't have I mean, they're missing that pick in the 761 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 6: second round anyway. 762 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: So uh, and then handle it that way. But I 763 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: do believe, as we have. 764 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 6: This conversation, and we're having this conversation before free agency starts, 765 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 6: keep that in mind. 766 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 7: Yes, keep that in mind because there are a lot 767 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 7: of players Christian Parker has coached other teams, including the Eagles, 768 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:42,280 Speaker 7: including the Broncos firing contracts coming up expiring. 769 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: So that's why we can't say their name. We cannot 770 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: say the names right now, there's one that's on that 771 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: is coded hare. I'm sure there's there's how what how 772 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: to blanket? All right? Yeah? Just chili? Somebody? Do you 773 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: have to get on a boat later water? You know, 774 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: I mean you need a blanket sometimes. 775 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 6: Well, I know that one of the players that are 776 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 6: coming free is I hear he's a dog. 777 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: Dogs, So there's that. 778 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,760 Speaker 6: But I mean they have several guys that are going 779 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 6: to be of note entering free agency. Can't say the 780 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 6: names because they're still in the contract until the at 781 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 6: least legal tampering starts UH in the first second week 782 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 6: in March. But nonetheless, just like Christian Parker is reaching 783 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 6: out to try to get Ronelle Williams in the building, 784 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 6: I one hundred percent for see him reaching out to 785 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 6: some of these formal current assumed to be former Eagles 786 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 6: players on the defensive side of the ball, saying, hey, 787 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 6: if you like what we did over there, try to 788 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 6: come in doing it for. 789 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,879 Speaker 5: If you people dance, if you don't like your head 790 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 5: coach dancing in the backgrounds fans in the tunnel, come 791 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 5: to down. 792 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: It's far less punch. 793 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 6: Up if you catch that reference. Yeah, we're we're good. 794 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 6: We're good, They're good. But no, seriously, I think so. 795 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 6: I think I said hit the next on the head. 796 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 6: As far as what could happen with the draft, I 797 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 6: still want to see aggressiveness and free agency like we're 798 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 6: talking about. Because if you're aggressive and free agency and 799 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 6: you do it the right way defensively, because George Pickens 800 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 6: is at the top of everybody's list in this room 801 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 6: and in this building, but defensively you handle it the 802 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 6: right way, then maybe you walk away with a very 803 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 6: impactful edge rusher whilst retaining Deveon Clowney, which then allows 804 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 6: you to continue to develop in you know, slowly unleashed 805 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 6: as Roku get you a free agency linebacker who can 806 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 6: impact the game along with Tomorvey on overshown and Mayrizleiafile. Okay, now, 807 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 6: when you go into the draft, because I because I'm 808 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 6: going to spend so much on pickings and I want 809 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 6: another edge rusher and free agency, I want a linebacker 810 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 6: and free agency, I'm not going to say, oh, well, 811 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 6: also give me a high ticket cornerback because they're not 812 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 6: going to do that. But what it does allow you 813 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 6: to do is go into these first two round picks. First, 814 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 6: these two first round picks. Sorry, and you say, I 815 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 6: can attack. I can throw cornerback first pick, first picking 816 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 6: my first round of the draft cornerback. And then when 817 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 6: the second pick comes around, you say, okay, well we 818 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 6: did get an impact edge rusher, so maybe now we 819 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,240 Speaker 6: can afford to move. 820 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: Back a little bit and attack edge that way. 821 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,800 Speaker 7: So I think exactly that, like you're talking about trading 822 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,919 Speaker 7: that second first round pick to acquire more picks because 823 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 7: you currently have no Day two picks at all. One 824 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 7: of the things, at least in Fangio style systems, they 825 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,720 Speaker 7: value safeties that can play high and in the box, 826 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 7: corners that don't panic with their eyes. Linebackers who can run, 827 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 7: not just hit. You have linebackers who can run right now. 828 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 7: I think that's right, athletic linebackers. I think the vision 829 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 7: is there for him, and I think that's one of 830 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 7: the things that sold them on Parker. 831 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 1: But I think an. 832 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 7: Emphasis on the secondary doesn't mean cornerbacks in the first round. 833 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 7: I think that means multiple mid round cornerbacks, which is 834 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 7: why you would maybe want to trade that for one 835 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 7: of those first round picks. And again, virsual safeties in 836 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,760 Speaker 7: competition everywhere, if you look at the recent playoff defenses 837 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 7: Ravens forty nine Ers Chiefs. They wrote tape between seven 838 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,800 Speaker 7: and nine defensive backs yearly. You have to have depth. 839 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 7: It's not just your number one guys. You're talking about 840 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 7: a team that got rid of Trayvon Dicks. They released 841 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 7: him in just before the last game of the season. 842 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 7: A guy that was, you know, a ballhawk in his 843 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 7: in his time, but a guy that would give up 844 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 7: the big play. I'm wondering now is the is the 845 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 7: mentality changing on like are we over creating those splash plays. 846 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 7: I'm not saying entirely, but are you more relying on 847 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 7: players being right? You don't need players to be great, 848 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 7: you need them to be right, cerebral players. 849 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,720 Speaker 3: I'm curious to see question, Josh.

They say, well, we 905 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,919 Speaker 3: already have that position filled. What happens, That's what I'm 906 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 3: curious to see. I can't wait to see the picks 907 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 3: because that's going to give you a peek behind the 908 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 3: veil in regards. 909 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 7: To who's really running, who's not necessarily who's running the struggle? 910 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 3: Right, But like, are they going to continue to listen 911 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 3: or is that going to be a situation where there. 912 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: Is resistance you? 913 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,879 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, pushback, But they're like, I've 914 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 3: given on a lot, now I'm not giving on this 915 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 3: all right. 916 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,479 Speaker 6: So here's the thing though, the Cowboys over the past 917 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 6: several seasons, and when I say over the past several 918 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 6: I'm going let me reach back into the Jason Garrett 919 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 6: era for a minutes. When you're looking back at the 920 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 6: Jason Garrett era, a lot of the reasons the Cowboys 921 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 6: were finishing eight and eight was because outside of having 922 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 6: a guy, a dude, an animal here and there, here 923 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 6: and there, you had positions that didn't have a guy 924 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,760 Speaker 6: or that dude. Now fast forward through Mike no through 925 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 6: Dan Quinn, who had an excellent defense with the exception 926 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,439 Speaker 6: of it couldn't stop the run, and then Matt eber 927 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 6: Flus and Mike Zimmer not so much. You're going into 928 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 6: twenty twenty six. You look at this roster and look 929 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 6: at who's going in the free agency from all the teams, 930 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 6: including this one, and you say, okay. 931 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: At defensive tackle, do I have a guy? Yes, you 932 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:19,319 Speaker 1: got at least two. You got two. 933 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 6: You got at least two without resigning Jadeveon Clowney because 934 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 6: that deal is not done. As we have this conversation. 935 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 6: At defensive end, do you have a guy? No, because 936 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,359 Speaker 6: you don't know what Zrak is yet, so you don't. 937 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 6: At linebacker, do you have a guy? No, guy, you 938 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 6: have a guy with an asterisk. 939 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 7: With an we'll see when it gets a full off season. 940 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 6: Okay, so that's fair defensive, but right now I would 941 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:40,879 Speaker 6: say no defensive back. 942 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,439 Speaker 1: Keep in mind you need to be concerned about dron 943 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: Bland's foot. So no. As safety, do you have a guy? 944 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 8: No? 945 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: You need to get guys. Yeah, That's where I'm at 946 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: with it. 947 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,760 Speaker 3: No, you need and I don't disagree with you, but again, 948 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 3: my thing is from the management standpoint, if you've invested 949 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,360 Speaker 3: in guys, right, For instance, take the cornerback position assigned 950 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 3: Roan Blam to the extension. We just drafted Rebel, We 951 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 3: just we drafted Carson a year before. Do you if 952 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 3: he comes out and said I need to draft two corners, 953 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 3: what is the response by the upper management and he 954 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 3: comes out. If he comes out and says, hey, I 955 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 3: need I need more linebackers. No, we just got we 956 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 3: just got Leah Foul and we just got you know, 957 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 3: over Shot. 958 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I need this. Are they going to listen 959 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: draft the safety? 960 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 6: My answer would be yes. If Christian Parker comes to me, 961 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 6: I think you go get him. And if Christian Parker 962 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,800 Speaker 6: comes to me and he says, to rebuild your defense 963 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,319 Speaker 6: and my vision and the way that you want it 964 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 6: to be over the next two to five years of 965 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,880 Speaker 6: my contract, I need you to give me whatever I 966 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 6: ask you to get. And here's why I think the 967 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 6: Cowboys will be in on that, because pre dan Quinn 968 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 6: personnel acquisition wise looked much different than when dan Quinn 969 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 6: got in the building. The Cowboys didn't approach attack or 970 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 6: bring in the defensive tackle position like they should have. 971 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 6: But then here comes Aaron White cotting Oh, and all 972 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,319 Speaker 6: of a sudden not only do you trade Michael, which 973 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 6: you may or may not have done anyway, but you 974 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 6: trade them for Kenny Clark and then a few weeks 975 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 6: later you go and get Quinn Williams. 976 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 1: So use that to me. They're listening, Yeah, they're listening. Yeah. 977 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 6: So if Christian Parker comes to me and I'm Jerry 978 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 6: and Stephen Jones and he says I need him, him, 979 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 6: him and him, I'm like, call him, call him, call him. 980 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,879 Speaker 1: Whatever you need, Christian, Yeah, whatever you. 981 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 7: Need, all right, fellas, that will do it the fucking Cowboys. 982 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 7: We will be back next week with the full crew. 983 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 7: Kyle will be back for more coverage on America Seam. 984 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 7: Stay tuned all day, every day on Dallas Cowboys, not Cone, 985 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 7: Fir Patrick, Rich, Mocha, Beemer and Faucca. 986 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 1: We'll see you next time. 987 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 4: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 988 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club
