17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: Patrick's out today. We'll hold it down. We've got lots

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: of different topics that have been floating around the Cowboys

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: universe that we'll get into today. We'll talk about some

20
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: rules changes around the NFL. We'll talk about the dak

21
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: con that contract and what we've kind of been hearing

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: in that way. I think there's some things I want

23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: to clear up about that, but we'll have some conversations

24
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: on that, and then we'll talk about free agency after

25
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: the dust is settled. Now in that first wave of

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: free agency, uh kind of giving a big picture of

27
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: where the Cowboys are, where they're their their positions are

28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: of need, and what they are really looking at now

29
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: as they head into latter parts of free agency and

30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: the draft to really round out their their roster before

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: we get here to training camp in July. All right,

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: so let's start first. I want to I want to

33
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: start first with the NFL rules changes. I'm going to

34
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: go through some of these and I have some different

35
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: thoughts on it, but I want to get your your

36
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: ideas on kind of what you think. Let's start first

37
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: with that hip drop rule. Basically, it's a move, It's

38
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 2: a maneuver that they want to get out of the game.

39
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: It obviously can lead to some pretty gruesome injuries. We've

40
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: seen that happen. The question for me, though, I have

41
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: for you guys, is is this a fair rule for

42
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: defensive players? Because as you're running, so if a runner

43
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: gets behind you, what else can you really do in

44
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: order to tackle them, especially if the guy is bigger

45
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: than you are. Let see it's a defensive back and

46
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: you're trying to tackle Derrick Henry. How fair is that

47
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 2: you now can't use your body weight to be able

48
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: to pull him back when he's a big guy and

49
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: has a full head of steam ahead of you.

50
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's difficult.

51
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 6: It's never easy for a defender to have to approach

52
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 6: a ball carrier from behind and try and make because

53
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 6: everything now is it seems a bad situation, whether it's

54
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 6: horse collar and now the hip tackle.

55
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: You know, but.

56
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 6: I'm for it. I'm for it because I you know,

57
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 6: I understand it's a technique. There's some guys that are

58
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 6: really good defensively of wrapping it up, taking their weight

59
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 6: and throwing them in the back of the legs or

60
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 6: the back of a ball carrier. And we've seen it

61
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 6: on a couple of different levels. The Ravens lost their

62
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 6: tight end last year to one. We've seen the Cowboys

63
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 6: with Dak Prescott in his situation and how he got

64
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 6: tackled that one time in the Giants game. You know,

65
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 6: it's it's a dangerous maneuver. Is it fair for the

66
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 6: defenders nowadays?

67
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 3: No, it's not. You know, the defenders seem.

68
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 6: To be getting all the rule changes against him, whether

69
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 6: it's contact rules, hands the face, whatever rule that you

70
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 6: want to make against the defensive player. But to me,

71
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 6: this is like the horse collar one. I feel like

72
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 6: it's it's the spirit of it is the right way.

73
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 6: I don't have a great answer for you as far

74
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 6: as what do you do differently, because it is it's

75
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 6: a tough way. If you're behind a ball carrier, there's

76
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 6: really how else you're going to get a guy down.

77
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 6: You maybe grab on, hold on and hope that everybody

78
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 6: else helps you. But man, we've seen some pretty significant

79
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 6: violent injuries. I mean, Dak Prescott got hit in the

80
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 6: pocket against the Lions, you know, in a same kind

81
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 6: of manner, and with you know, with with Hutchinson, Aiden

82
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 6: Hutchinson with a hip kind.

83
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: Of tackle, and Dak was able to kind.

84
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 6: Of get his legs up, feet up and you know,

85
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 6: and not have to suffer that. And you can only

86
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 6: imagine him having to deal with that again. And you know,

87
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 6: cowboy fans all going, my gosh, here here we go again.

88
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 6: But there's no there's no right answer here. But I

89
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 6: am I'm all about that part of the game because

90
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 6: I think there is some violence to it that hopefully

91
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 6: can be avoided in the future.

92
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 5: I've seen a lot of people online fans being really

93
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 5: upset and saying, no, might as well just play flag football.

94
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 5: But when you look at the grand scheme of things.

95
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 7: I mean, I think.

96
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 5: It is for the better of just player health in general.

97
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 5: And you know, it sucks when you lose a key player,

98
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 5: not just for that team, but just for the level

99
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 5: of the game that you're playing. You want to be

100
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: playing against good players because that makes it a lot

101
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 5: more excited. Now, it is going to be tough to

102
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 5: retrain that and apply these types of changes.

103
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 7: We've seen it when.

104
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 5: A defender is attacking the quarterback and you know, hitting

105
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 5: them or getting too close and those those yeah, some

106
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 5: of those are just insane, some of those calls. But

107
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 5: at the same time, it is hard to be mindful

108
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 5: of that when you're going through the motion and the movements.

109
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 5: You know, when you're playing a game, you tend to

110
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 5: just react and go for it and you're not thinking

111
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 5: of where my hand placement. These things happen so fast

112
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 5: that I think it's just it's gonna take some time

113
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 5: to really get to a point where it's clean and

114
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 5: you don't get called or other injuries, further injuries don't happen.

115
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 5: I think it's just gonna take time for players you

116
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 5: got used to.

117
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 6: You know, the one the one tackle that bothers me,

118
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 6: and the hip tackle bothers me. You know, I would hate,

119
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 6: like I said, I hate to I would hate to

120
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 6: lose players. I'd hate to be on the player personnel

121
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 6: side of the coaching side and lose a star player

122
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 6: because of that. You know, But it's a tackle. The

123
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 6: one that bothers me the most are receivers coming across,

124
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 6: tight ends coming across the middle of the field and

125
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 6: these defensive backs are going for their knees. That's the

126
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 6: one that you know that I really really cringe about.

127
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 6: If they if they would have said, oh, at the

128
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 6: owner's meeting, we're going to eliminate, we're going to penalize,

129
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 6: we're going to talk about defensive backs going at pass

130
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 6: catcher's knees.

131
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: Now, you got me really really.

132
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 6: Interested, because I think that's the one that that's that's

133
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 6: defenseless right there, you're catching the ball, you're coming across,

134
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 6: and now you've got a defensive back at maybe a

135
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 6: five to seven yard run and going at your knees

136
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 6: to try and get you on the ground. Yeah, that's

137
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 6: the one that that's the one that always gotten me.

138
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard offensive guys say hit me in the head. Yeah,

139
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 2: and this is this is a right and nor should

140
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: it be the way they do it. But I've heard

141
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 2: offensive guys say, man, I'd rather you protect my knees

142
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: to worry about my head, and I actually would. I

143
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: actually wonder in that instance if the right answer is

144
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: the cowt. I mean, the officiating committee should really look

145
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: at it. As there's a strike zone essentially, and the

146
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: strike zone is just above the knee and below the head, right,

147
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: and that's the area where you can hit a defensile's

148
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: receiver or you can hit a receiver when they're in

149
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: the air when they're trying to catch a ball. That's

150
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: the area that's the strike zone. Anything above or below

151
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: that gets you a penalty. I think that's probably a

152
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: smart way to do it, to protect those guy's knees,

153
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: because you're right, when you're not seeing that guy and

154
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: he hits your knees, you can't have some very.

155
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 6: Soon have injuries, and you have some significant injuries there.

156
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 6: And I like what you're talking about with the strike zone.

157
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 6: But you know, you have receivers that have different height.

158
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 6: You know there's some tall guys or some short guys

159
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 6: depending on their wide receivers if they're tight ends that

160
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 6: strike zone.

161
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: I guess it's it's.

162
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 6: Different for every player, but maybe that's something that should

163
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 6: be reviewable, you know, if you go it's you know,

164
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 6: we love college football and they have the targeting rules,

165
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 6: you know, and it stops the game for a few minutes,

166
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 6: but you know, you learn about Okay, yes he went

167
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 6: with a shoulder legal hit. No, he led with the head.

168
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 6: He's fifteen yards an out, you know, and so I

169
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 6: anything like that to police the game, I'm okay with.

170
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: Let's look at another rule change. They actually changed the

171
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: challenges to where now coaches are able to get a

172
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: third challenge if they get one of the first two correct,

173
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: instead of before it was that you had to have

174
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: both correct in order to get a third one. I

175
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: think that rule is fine. I don't have a problem

176
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: with it. My bigger question is does college get it

177
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: right better than the NFL from the standpoint of having

178
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 2: somebody in the booth, Yes, literally can just review anything.

179
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 5: I've been saying this for you absolutely, because it hasn't

180
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 5: slowed down the game right.

181
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 6: And no, you know, we've had some college football games

182
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 6: have lasted four hours or so.

183
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: We've had, you know, but is it just because of that, Like, no,

184
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: it's just.

185
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 6: Because of all the stoppings after first downs, yeah right,

186
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 6: you know, and now they've kind of eliminated that, so

187
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 6: the games have gotten a little bit quicker. Television wants

188
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 6: a three hour game, and so you know, you have

189
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 6: to try and get him a fan.

190
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: I'll take a four hour game.

191
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: But exactly the thing, we just want to get it right,

192
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: you know.

193
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 6: I do feel like though, the ability to buzz down,

194
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 6: you know, and to say, hey, listen, we need to

195
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 6: review that play. I do feel like that that is

196
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 6: the best because we've got coaches, honestly, that don't know

197
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 6: when to challenge, and maybe they challenge too much, you know,

198
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 6: maybe they challenge at the wrong time. And if you

199
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 6: take it out of their hands that way, maybe, you know,

200
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 6: maybe you could you get it.

201
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: Right more than not. You know.

202
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 6: But I'm i applaud what college football does with the

203
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 6: ability to buzz down and say, hey, listen, I need

204
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 6: to review this one.

205
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: Just give me a minute to look at it, and

206
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: usually they get it right. Yeah.

207
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 5: That's what I've never understood when you have when you

208
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 5: watch college football, why not take the things that do

209
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 5: work or seem to be good from it and apply

210
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 5: it to the NFL. Like, that's the one thing I

211
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 5: still don't understand until this day, because I think college

212
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 5: football does do a lot of good things better than the.

213
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 3: They do a lot of good things.

214
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 6: And and and I'm sure Derek is about to get

215
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 6: into a rule that you're going to take from the XFL.

216
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 2: We'll get there.

217
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's sometimes it.

218
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 6: You know, the NFL for so many years is we've

219
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 6: done it this way, We're not. I mean the longer

220
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 6: you guys have worked in it long enough that when

221
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 6: the operations manual comes out about what's going on with

222
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 6: the league, it's they could take the date and just

223
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 6: erase it and put the new date on there and

224
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 6: send it and it's the same thing over and over

225
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 6: and over and over and over again. And you're like, Okay,

226
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 6: but yeah, that's they're they're they're they're slow to adjust

227
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 6: two things in the NFL. They just they don't want

228
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 6: to mess with it that much.

229
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: My thing is getting a call right should never be

230
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 2: a matter of strategy right, And that's what it is.

231
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: Right now.

232
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: Coaches are having to strategize on when should I or

233
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: when should I'm not that should never be a strategy

234
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: thing that should always be. We just want to get

235
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: it right because the calls need to be right right.

236
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: And that's where I think college gets it right.

237
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: Now.

238
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: Where the NFL, as you mentioned, has been willing to

239
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: move is in their kickoff, and they've been doing things

240
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: to take the kickoff out of the game, in my opinion,

241
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: for many years now because of the safety of players.

242
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: And I know when when I was coming up, and

243
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: Brian you probably went to this year. Coming up, playing

244
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: football special teams was a special thing. Like you get

245
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: on special teams. That was where you figured out just

246
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: how tough you really were because you were just going

247
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: to run full speed. It was a challenge. And the

248
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: NFL has taken that. They've been trying to take that

249
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: more and more out of the game because it is

250
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: very dangerous. I think they did something really good here

251
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: and trying to figure out, Okay, we still want to

252
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: keep the excitement, but we want to limit the the

253
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: the potential violence. And I think in this way with

254
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: the new rules around the kickoff, what it does is

255
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: essentially takes away that full speed collision that happens, and

256
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 2: it still gives the excitement of possible returns and I

257
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: think actually makes it better. What are you guys thoughts

258
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 2: on that and how much do you think this is

259
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 2: an advantage for the Cowboys based upon what they have

260
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: as far as players and their special teams.

261
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 6: Coach watched a few XFL games with this. So the

262
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 6: way it operates, if you've got a ball carrier or

263
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 6: a returner that can make someone miss. Initially you get

264
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 6: through that first wave, it's onto the kicker. You know,

265
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 6: you could you could have some seriously good returns just

266
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 6: by if you get everybody blocked up and you've got

267
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 6: a ball carrier that has vision, has some elusiveness, has

268
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 6: some quickness because it's tough.

269
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 3: As they're coming down in a line.

270
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 6: You know, it's you pop that one, and now where's

271
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 6: the where's the support? It's a kicker who's standing back

272
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 6: there kind of you know, waiting for you know, whatever happens.

273
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 6: I've seen some really good returns. You would think that

274
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 6: that wouldn't be good returns, but they're really were some

275
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 6: you know, and you know, but if you have to,

276
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 6: if you have a guy, now I could also see

277
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 6: with the ball going out to the thirty five yard line.

278
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 6: If somebody's really bad at this kickoff stuff. Just keep

279
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 6: pumping the ball into the end zone, and you know,

280
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 6: and do it instead.

281
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: Of get out kick it.

282
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 6: Instead of all being the twenty five, it's on the

283
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 6: thirty five, you know. And we're not we're that bad

284
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 6: covering these things. And we're not going to let Turpin

285
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 6: bring back three kicks during a game on us, you know.

286
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: So if the ball.

287
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 6: Keeps getting past midfield, I'm telling my kicker kick it

288
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 6: out of the damn end zone here. I'm not gonna

289
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 6: We're not going to cover any more kicks. So there'll

290
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 6: be a strategy with this. You'll see who's really You'll

291
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 6: see who's really good at it, and then the teams

292
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 6: that are really bad will just go ahead and kick

293
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 6: the ball in the end zone every single time and

294
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 6: say we'll play defense from the thirty five.

295
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 7: Yeah.

296
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 5: I think it's a it's an exciting new change and

297
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 5: I'm really looking forward to it because over the years

298
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 5: since I started working here, every year it just seemed

299
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 5: to get more and more boring, like nothing exciting.

300
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 6: Well, the Super Bowl was a good example of that.

301
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 6: Every kickoff went into the end zone was a touchback.

302
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 6: I mean, nobody wants nobody watching watch.

303
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 5: That, but now it brings a different element where you

304
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 5: have a real chance and real opportunity to make a

305
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 5: game changing play and move.

306
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 7: So I'm looking forward to it.

307
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you think about it, essentially, what you're doing

308
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: is you're playing defense without linebackers or a secondary right.

309
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: You only have one line of defense, and if you

310
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: can get past that one line of defense, you got

311
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: a chance. So that's where it's going to get really interesting.

312
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: And I love it for the Cowboys because I look

313
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: at a guy like Turpin and that's what Turpin does.

314
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: He has the speed and elusiveness and getting that one

315
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: guy right, and it's the waves that usually trip him up.

316
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: It's not the first guy. He usually can get past

317
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: that first guy, it's the waves of guys that are

318
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: coming at him that eventually get to him. I want

319
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: to see how this works for him. And I love

320
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: the fact that the Cowboys have a special team's coach

321
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: who was extremely creative, because I think those who are

322
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: really creative, especially in this first year, they're going to

323
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: see the greatest success not only on the kickoff returns,

324
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: also on the kickoffs. I think there's some strategy to

325
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: that as well, and I think he'll be thoughtful about that,

326
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: and I think we can see some really cool stuff

327
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: that may happen for the Cowboys on special teams this year.

328
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: All right, Final one. I wanted to get to trade

329
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: deadline move back one week. I don't know that it

330
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: makes much of a difference one week, but Brian, you're

331
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: a personnel guy, you're a former personnel guy. How much

332
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: of does that one week help when it comes to

333
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: being able to have trades for one more week?

334
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

335
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 6: I think the NFL for so many years was worried

336
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 6: about teams getting to the trade deadline and not having

337
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 6: any hope and all of a sudden you fire sell

338
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 6: your team, you know, and now you know. I do

339
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 6: feel like though, that by moving it back a week,

340
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 6: that maybe you give everybody an opportunity to look.

341
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: At the quarterback situation too.

342
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 6: I always kind of felt like there needed to be

343
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 6: a different trade deadline for quarterbacks because sometimes you get

344
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 6: to week nine, week ten and you're like, you know,

345
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 6: we got six more weeks to play and we're in

346
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 6: the hunt here, but we just lost our quarterback. You know,

347
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 6: if you gave me the flexibility of going out and

348
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 6: getting somebody, I would welcome that a lot. So, yeah,

349
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 6: anything to give you more time to look at your

350
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 6: roster and say, listen, we're not going anywhere. You know,

351
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 6: we're going to get some compensatory picks. We're gonna pick

352
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 6: pretty high. Maybe we can move on from a guy,

353
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 6: you know, if the cap, if it makes sense for

354
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 6: your cap, then that's where I think that I think both.

355
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 3: Teams will benefit from that.

356
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 6: The team that's receiving the player will benefit because of

357
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 6: the efforts that they're making to go get the guy,

358
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 6: and the team trading will say, Okay, we're not going anywhere.

359
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 6: We just got a premium pick for a player, and

360
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 6: now we're going to use that for next year.

361
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: I like it.

362
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually kind of wish they would allow teams

363
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: to have that fire sell because I think that adds

364
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: excitement when you allow teams that are in the hunt

365
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: to kind of improve their team a little more time

366
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: to do that, and teams that are out of it

367
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: to say, hey, if we're out of it, and maybe

368
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: there's an opportunity for us to get better right now.

369
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: Right from the standpoint of getting rid of some pieces,

370
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: but now going into the next offseason, we got a

371
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: little more capital to work with I actually think that's

372
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: a good thing and it's exciting for me.

373
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 6: It's funny you say that, because you know my other

374
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 6: job working on one oh five to three the fan

375
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 6: we have to talk about baseball.

376
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: And last year they a situation.

377
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 6: Where the the Anaheim, the Angels Los Angeles, Angels.

378
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 3: Of Anaheim, or whenever you want to call them out there.

379
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 6: They they did a fire sale and they put all

380
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 6: their they put all their guys on waivers Cleveland, by

381
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 6: a by a mechanism, Cleveland, the Guardians were able to

382
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 6: claim all the players.

383
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 3: So they got all the guys.

384
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 6: All of a sudden, they're getting pitching, they're getting you know,

385
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 6: they're getting all these things that they and nobody else

386
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 6: had the option to get these guys. So all of

387
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 6: a sudden, you're thinking, here we are in a in

388
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 6: Cleveland with the time, was in a in a pennant race,

389
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 6: was trying to win a division, and other teams are like, whoa,

390
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 6: We'll wait a minute. You just shifted the balance of

391
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 6: power towards you know. So sometimes the fire sale, I'm

392
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 6: with you on it. I'm also the please give me

393
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 6: the opportunity to like claim a guy or two.

394
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: Don't don't let no let everyone, don't let everybody, don't let.

395
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: My competitor get every single player.

396
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: No ways can build that, you can go mechanisms into.

397
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: I think the salary cap in the NFL will be

398
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 2: the biggest detract from somebody being able to pick up

399
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: for someone to be able to dump their team and

400
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: somebody else to pick up the whole team. I think

401
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 2: that is what you try to guard against. But I

402
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: do think it's exciting for fans. Trade deadlines in the

403
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: basket in basketball and baseball, in my opinion, are far

404
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: more exciting.

405
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and trade.

406
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 2: Deadlines in the NFL. And I think it's because it

407
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 2: happened so early in the NFL reletive to those other leagues.

408
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 7: It's definitely good that they pushed it.

409
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 5: I wish there was longer, honest, I wish it would

410
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 5: come at week eleven around there, twelve eleven.

411
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 3: Like December first.

412
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I.

413
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 5: Mean, because that's exactly right at the point where you're like, okay,

414
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 5: we're either going this way right way, but you're still

415
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 5: in it. You don't know what the result is going

416
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 5: to be, and you really could use some kind of

417
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 5: trade right now.

418
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

419
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 6: The one thing that we all know that working in

420
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 6: this organization as long as we have is we know

421
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 6: what this team is after Thanksgiving. Yeah, so you know,

422
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 6: and you're kind of sitting there thinking, well, if we'd

423
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 6: had this player on number first, you know, maybe this

424
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 6: guy could help us make that run.

425
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 3: And so, yeah, I'm totally.

426
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 2: I just think it would be exciting. It's more of

427
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: a selfish fan thought in mind. I know there's a

428
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: lot of mechanisms you'd have to think about from the

429
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: business part of it, but I just think we fan standpoint,

430
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: it would be exciting because I do think teams would

431
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 2: do exactly what we're thinking, that those that are in

432
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: the hunt would make themselves better, those that are not

433
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 2: would be looking for ways to be able to improve

434
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: their chance.

435
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 6: There was a couple of times that when we were

436
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 6: covering that Tony Romo team that get when he got hurt,

437
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 6: that we were ready to trade all the players. At

438
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 6: the end of it, we were just maybe we could

439
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 6: trade every one of these guys and we don't have

440
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 6: to cover this.

441
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: We just thought over next year, YT's start over.

442
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 3: Next we'll see it. We'll start we'll.

443
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 8: See the guys, check out the draft guy, and we'll

444
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 8: kept three days of draft coverage for you, and we'll

445
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 8: do what we.

446
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 3: Have to do.

447
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: Well. We're gonna take our first break when we come back.

448
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 2: We're got to talk Dak. We're gonna talk about his

449
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: contract of some things that came out over the last

450
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: couple of days. We'll discuss that when we come back, Dallas,

451
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: Cowboys dot Com Radio.

452
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 9: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

453
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 9: Cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

454
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 9: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

455
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

456
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

457
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 9: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

458
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

459
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 9: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

460
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 9: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

461
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 10: Five G requires compatible plan and device five G may

462
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 10: not be available in your area. See att dot com

463
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 10: Slash five G for you for details.

464
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 11: Cowboys fans, after that move, we've just coined the term

465
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 11: rowdy replay.

466
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: Let's roll back the tape.

467
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 12: Okay, there's our mascot rowdy, cheering on the boys, and

468
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 12: now he's on his phone on his Bank of America

Speaker 2: I've gotten there right in the last two shows, so

514
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 2: I'm very proud of myself.

515
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, doing better.

516
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Dak Prescott. There was a report that

517
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 2: came out from me in rap report that was saying

518
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 2: and I think, let me just kind of I want

519
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: to clear some stuff up because I think there was

520
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 2: the statement that Ian put out gave a lot of

521
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: people to the impression that the Cowboys are basically saying,

522
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: we don't want to sign back to a We're comfortable

523
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 2: just letting him go into next year and go into

524
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: free agency and we'll deal with it from there. I

525
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: don't think that's necessarily what they were trying to say.

526
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 2: I think there's been some more reporting that's happened since

527
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: then that's kind of clarified that. I think the whole

528
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: point of it is they've had some extension discussions, and

529
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: I think the point of it is, in my opinion,

530
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: there really is no pressure from either side to get

531
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 2: a deal done. I don't think either side is really pushing,

532
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: like I got to move off of my position right

533
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: now in order to get a deal done. I think

534
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: they both kind of have what they expect, and I

535
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: think they're sitting there and they're like, well, you know,

536
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: we'll just kind of let this thing play out and

537
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 2: we'll see where it goes. What I don't think it

538
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: is is that the Cowboys are satisfied at this point

539
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 2: just to say he's going to be a free agent.

540
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: I think there's still the chance that he gets a

541
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 2: deal done this off season. There's still a chance maybe

542
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 2: he gets a deal done in season. I just don't

543
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: think either team, either side, is really at a point

544
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 2: yet where they are ready to.

545
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, move off of the No, you're right. Yeah.

546
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 6: Justina Anderson who covers the league, and you know, I

547
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 6: don't know if you saw her her tweet, Yeah, yeah,

548
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 6: you know, her tweet was and I'm reading it from

549
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 6: her actual tweet. Regarding the Cowboys and Dak Prescott, I'm

550
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 6: told the team does intend to work out a contract

551
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 6: for their three time Pro Bowl quarterback and has also

552
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 6: not closed off potential to consummate a deal for him

553
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 6: this year, per source. While there's currently no offer or

554
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 6: intimate talks, the team has not presently charted a path

555
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 6: to let Prescott go to free agency, despite some chatter

556
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 6: to the contrary. I'm told so that, you know, I

557
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 6: think she's onto something here. We had on Nick Harris,

558
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 6: who very talented reporter for Dallas Cowboys dot Com, yesterday

559
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 6: on the one oh five three of the fan on

560
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 6: the g Bag Nation, and he throughout a theory that

561
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 6: he had and I've learned this over the years working

562
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 6: for you guys.

563
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 3: These walls talk sometimes.

564
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 6: And I asked him a question and he was talking

565
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 6: about listen, think about maybe something in November. You know,

566
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 6: Nick's a smart guy. Nick's probably heard some things. Nick's

567
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 6: probably got some ideas, you know, maybe Novembers. And I

568
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 6: like that. That's the first time I've kind of heard that.

569
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 6: You know, you got what's going to happen maybe next year,

570
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 6: you know, as you get towards closer towards free agency,

571
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 6: that possibility as well. So I don't think this thing

572
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 6: is closed off. I will say this and Bobby Belton

573
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 6: I had this conversation. If I'm the Cowboys, though, I

574
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 6: don't let him get to free agency. That's that's it.

575
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 6: All those things that I said about what Josina said,

576
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 6: and what you know I just talked about and what

577
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 6: Nick Harris said all true.

578
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 3: But if this thing gets to free agency.

579
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 6: I think all bets are off then for me personally,

580
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 6: you know, that's just how I feel like it. But

581
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 6: I feel like that those guys upstairs, the guys and

582
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 6: the gals that work on these contracts, I think they'll

583
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 6: do everything they can, and I think Dax Camp will

584
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 6: try and do the same.

585
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 14: Yeah.

586
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 5: I think it's an It's a very interesting situation because

587
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 5: and we've seen it before where even with his first

588
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 5: time extension that we it felt like it took too long,

589
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 5: you know, to happen, and then it gets dragged out,

590
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 5: and then it gets there and then time passes.

591
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 7: You know, man, they should have done that probably sooner.

592
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

593
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 5: So it's just it does take me back to thinking

594
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 5: that maybe we're sitting here several months from now, thinking, oh,

595
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 5: they really should have taken care of that in free

596
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 5: agency this year around this time, right now, and get

597
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 5: that done.

598
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 7: But it also presents the option of allowing yourself.

599
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 5: To give you some times, and I know that the

600
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 5: Cowboys are fully bought into Dak.

601
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 7: They've said it once.

602
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 5: They've repeatedly said this, they want Dak as their quarterback

603
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 5: long term and extend him. But at the same time personally,

604
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 5: and I've said it before in previous shows that I'm like,

605
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be opposed to waiting it out and see

606
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 5: when free agency hits just because it gives me one

607
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 5: more excitement, or like, oh, let's see how this turns out.

608
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 7: Oh my god, Oh my god. Yes, and I love.

609
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 5: Dak and I want him here, But it's like, Okay,

610
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 5: last year it was a career year for him where

611
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 5: we saw him really take a next step, I thought,

612
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 5: and this year it would allow me to just either

613
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 5: confirmation as to Okay, yes, I'm a thousand percent let's

614
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 5: ride this wave even when the team because we.

615
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 7: Know a lot of a stake this year.

616
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 5: So if you're gonna start making a bunch of changes,

617
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 5: are you wanting him as your quarterback to stay here

618
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 5: while you restructure the whole team? Knowing that McCarthy is

619
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 5: on his last year, knowing Mike zimmer one year deal,

620
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 5: knowing that a lot of things might change if you

621
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 5: don't get to the super or yeah, if you do, yeah,

622
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 5: pretty much.

623
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, So I see both sides.

624
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 5: I see benefits to both sides to getting it done

625
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 5: as soon as possible, but also allowing yourself to kind

626
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 5: of get another extra peak, sneak peak of what he

627
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 5: has this year.

628
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say right now, I would still say

629
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: it's probably eighty five percent chance that the Cowboys and

630
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott get a long term deal and ends up

631
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 2: being here. Now, one thing I would say, Roan, you

632
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 2: said there's no way I would let him get the

633
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: free agency. I agree with that. There's one caveat I

634
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 2: have to that, and this is the I think the

635
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: little thing that's lurking in the back of a lot

636
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: of people's minds is what is Trey Lance. You went

637
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: out and you got him. You went out and you

638
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: got him, and you're going to have this whole off

639
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: season with him.

640
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 4: Now.

641
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: They've been evaluating him since you got here, so they've

642
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 2: been seeing what he is. They'll go through this offseason'll

643
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 2: see what he is. They'll get the training camp, they'll

644
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: see what he is. They'll hell it and plan some

645
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: preseason game. They'll see what he is. If they think

646
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 2: and this will be their determination, if they think Trey

647
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: Lance is a player and they think he has the

648
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: capability to be a good starting quarterback in this league.

649
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: That gives them some flexibility because now you may still

650
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 2: want to sign Dak, but it does, in the back

651
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: of your mind make you say, eh, we're not willing

652
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: to go above our budget to do that because we

653
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: fuck we got an option, right and right now, I

654
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: don't know that they can say they have an option.

655
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: I don't know any of us feel con certainly don't

656
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: feel comple saying you got an option. But they will

657
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: have that determination to make as they go through this

658
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: offseason and go through the preseason and into the season

659
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: to determine whether they think Trey Lance is a player

660
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: or not, and that will, I think also color their

661
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: decision on how much they're willing to give, not if

662
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: they'll give them a deal, because I think they'll offer

663
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 2: Dak a deal and they want Dak to be here.

664
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: How much they're willing to give, I think will depend

665
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: on what they think Trey Lance is.

666
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 6: Man, it's just such a slippery slope that these teams

667
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 6: now navigate because if you have a quarterback that's on

668
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 6: a rookie deal, that extra forty million dollars makes a

669
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 6: sept difference on your team. There's so many things that

670
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 6: you can do right now, if you you know, that's

671
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 6: why says, hey, you got to find a way to

672
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 6: get things done when that quarterback's not getting paid fifty

673
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 6: million dollars. And I think there's you know, there's people

674
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 6: out there too that you know, I think Kirk Cousins,

675
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 6: you look what he got with Atlanta. And I know

676
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 6: he's a few years older than Dak, but there's a

677
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 6: lot of similarities.

678
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 3: Between the two guys.

679
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 6: They're both capable quarterbacks. They both win in the regular season.

680
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 6: You know, they both seem like they're into the MVP

681
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 6: conversations everybody. They have MVP moments where they play at

682
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 6: a very very high level. But here's one making forty

683
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 6: five million dollars and the others looking to maybe make

684
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 6: sixty million dollars. You know, that's the thing about it

685
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 6: is you have to and I've said this before about

686
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 6: the Cowboys. I just really believe this, you know, with

687
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 6: the way the front office is structured here, they should

688
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 6: just continually roll the quarterback through. Just just keep trying

689
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 6: to churn the quarterback, you know, and play on these

690
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 6: rookie deals if you can, because to me, it's man,

691
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 6: it's when you look at how well they draft and

692
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 6: how will they Okay, they have to pay. It seems

693
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 6: like everybody you know, you know, having that extra forty

694
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 6: million dollars would go a long way right now for

695
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 6: the Cowboys when it comes to Michael Parsons and it

696
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 6: comes to Ceedee Lamb and others that they're going to

697
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 6: have to deal with here. So to me, if I'm

698
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 6: if I'm in the front office here, I'm thinking, I've

699
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 6: got to get a new quarterback in every four years,

700
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 6: you know, I got I gotta find. Now, you might

701
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 6: get blessed and find you know, the Pat Mahomes, or

702
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 6: maybe you get the guy at Cincinnati, but you know

703
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 6: those are few and far between. Now, you know, you're

704
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 6: you're dealing with a quarterback that's probably the sixth seventh

705
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 6: best quarterback in the league right now to some people,

706
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 6: you know, can you afford to pay him, you know,

707
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 6: fifty something million dollars that's the determination.

708
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 2: Of the market sense.

709
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I've.

710
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 6: Always felt like that when with Stephen Jones, the way

711
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 6: to work with Stephen Jones, in my opinion is and

712
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 6: Diggs did it perfectly with his quarter corner back contract.

713
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 6: Don't reset the market if you want to come in

714
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 6: three or four that Stephen Jones appreciates that about you,

715
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 6: and you're probably going to get the type of deal

716
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 6: that you want.

717
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 3: You're going to like, Okay, well, I'm the.

718
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 6: Third highest paid guy in the league at corner, but

719
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 6: you know, what's still a significant amount of money.

720
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: You know.

721
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 6: I think that to me that it's just that resetting

722
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 6: of the market. You know, Michael Parsons is going to

723
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 6: probably reset the market, and you know, I don't know

724
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 6: how comfortable the Cowboys are doing that, you.

725
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 2: Know, and especially if you have also at the same

726
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 2: time CD trying to reset the market or DAK trying

727
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 2: to reset the market. Like you've got three of those

728
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: guys that are trying to reset the market, it becomes

729
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: very very tough from.

730
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 6: A salary cap stand right, And I just think that

731
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 6: to me that But like I said earlier, guys, if

732
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 6: DAK gets to free agency, I don't think it's going

733
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 6: to end well for the Dallas Cowboys.

734
00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: I just don't.

735
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: And that's that's we're agreeing on that point because my

736
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: thought is the only way you should let that happen, right,

737
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 2: is if you have a viable option.

738
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and for him not to do. And that's what

739
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 3: we've talked about with Trey Lance.

740
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 6: And the problem is though with you know, now you're

741
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 6: you've got so many things that you have to look

742
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 6: at with the coaching situation is like, Okay, you make

743
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 6: a decision on Dak, you're moving on. Okay, are you

744
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 6: moving on for Mike McCarthy too? Now does the new

745
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 6: coach is he okay with the evaluation of Trey Lance,

746
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 6: you know, the staff.

747
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: And continuing to develop.

748
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, the staff that was here for the previous two years, no,

749
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 6: Trey Lance. A potentially new staff would not have that understanding.

750
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 6: And now you're going backwards there or you know, so, yeah,

751
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 6: it's a that's it's a it's it's a tough They

752
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 6: put themselves in a tough spot, but you know, that's

753
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 6: what they're gonna do.

754
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 3: They're going to try and do the best they can

755
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 3: to kind of figure it all out.

756
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna take our final break. We will

757
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: come back. Let's get some thoughts on free agency. We

758
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 2: have a couple of questions from some fans we'll get

759
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 2: to as well as is Alice Cowboys dot Comry.

760
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 9: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

761
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 9: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

762
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 9: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

763
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

764
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has at and T

765
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 9: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

766
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

767
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 9: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

768
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 9: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

769
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 10: Five G requires compatable plan and device. Five G may

Speaker 3: Yeah?

824
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Welcome back. Final segment of The Break Life from

825
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 2: the s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. Let's take

826
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 2: a question real quick from Ryan Corman. He should he says,

827
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 2: should we be as torn up as we are about

828
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: not signing free agents? To be honest, there were only

829
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 2: a handful I was interested in, and once I saw

830
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 2: what they got, I was glad we didn't get them.

831
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 2: I'll reserve judgment until I see this thing in Oxnar.

832
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 2: Should fans be as upset as they.

833
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 5: Are, well, it's understanding. It's understandable to be upset because

834
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 5: when something doesn't work out the way you hope it

835
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 5: works out, and you don't see any type of big changes,

836
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 5: it leads you to assume that the result will therefore

837
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 5: be the same or worse as before. So I understand

838
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 5: that because I catch myself kind of feeling that way

839
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 5: at times of being like, okay, right now, what have

840
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 5: we actually done other than and you tend to forget

841
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 5: your own people that you signed because you're like, okay,

842
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 5: that's what we already were used to and you have

843
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 5: to look at those I mean, they have signed a

844
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 5: few players, our key players, but it's still I feel

845
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 5: like I haven't received enough because I don't want to

846
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 5: rely in the assumption that they draft well and that

847
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 5: those players, those rookies will be ready set go for

848
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 5: when the season starts. That's you hoping and assuming that

849
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 5: that's how it's going to play. It out because of

850
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 5: your record and experience that you've proven to show. So

851
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 5: it just it reminds me of Mazzi. No shot against him.

852
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 5: I'm just using him as an example, and we're hoping

853
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 5: that he can take that step up and take it

854
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 5: to the next level this year, and they're definitely showing

855
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 5: that they're wanting to rely on him this season. But

856
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 5: that's just an example. You draft someone in the first round,

857
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 5: comes in and it's not necessarily the player that you're

858
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 5: hoping or wanting them to be in that first year,

859
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 5: and it's right now because of the people that have

860
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 5: left and the people that you've brought in other than

861
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 5: the linebacker position, I don't feel like the team is

862
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 5: currently better than before. I don't feel because before, with

863
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 5: everybody that you had, you felt that you were so close,

864
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 5: you know, and I feel like it always kind of

865
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 5: feels that way, but last year really did feel that way.

866
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 5: You're like, Okay, the defense, you think they can be

867
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 5: that and take that next level. And then Quinn what

868
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 5: he's doing, Dak, He's showing what he's got. You're thinking,

869
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,959
Speaker 5: you're so close. And I don't want to talk about

870
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 5: that Green Bay game, But as far as weapons and

871
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 5: talent on the team. You always feel like you just

872
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 5: need one more guy or two more players to be

873
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 5: the key players and just the extra boost that you need.

874
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 7: And now you feel like.

875
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 5: You're you're taking a few steps backwards in my personal opinion,

876
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 5: as it tends right now with the team.

877
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 6: I'll talk about the green Bay game that was awful

878
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 6: and the fact that everything fell in place for you.

879
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 6: You know, the health of your team, the collapse by Philadelphia,

880
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 6: the last month of the season, the way you won

881
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 6: the division, you beat Detroit, now you're the second seed.

882
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 6: Everything was set up for you to potentially get the

883
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 6: two games at home, maybe have to go to San Franciso,

884
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 6: who knows, who knows what was going to happen. Maybe

885
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 6: San Francisco loses, and then you get to host all

886
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 6: three games. You know the fact that you've lost so

887
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 6: many players, you know, a lot of your depth.

888
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 3: You know that.

889
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 6: You know you're mad about the Green Bay loss. Okay,

890
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 6: now you're mad about losing all your depth. You know

891
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 6: you're losing your dept to you lose your coach and

892
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 6: your debt to a division rival. So now you're really

893
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 6: mad about that. You know, the draft has did not

894
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 6: work out last year. You're mad about that, but you

895
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 6: should also be mad the fact that Tolbert needs to

896
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 6: play better. That also Sam Williams needs to play better.

897
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 6: You know, there's some guys other than Jake Ferguson, there's

898
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 6: a lot of guys in this team need to play better.

899
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 6: You know that we've seen here. The thing that bothers

900
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 6: fans the most is, you know you kind of saw Listen,

901
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 6: you you you understand about not signing a one technique,

902
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 6: but was there one out there that you could have

903
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 6: gotten de Kwon Jones from Buffalo, DJ Reeder from Cincinnati?

904
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 6: Do we not have any money to go get one

905
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 6: of those guys? Now you've put yourself in a situation

906
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 6: where at twenty four and the draft you're thinking, damn,

907
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 6: we are we going to take another one technique here

908
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 6: because we really don't.

909
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 3: Have one on the roster.

910
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 2: You know, it's a good one sitting there.

911
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Kendrick signing was really good.

912
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 6: You know, that was that was a rally, that was

913
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 6: a always going to San Francisco.

914
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 3: Damn.

915
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 6: But then you know, Zim gets on the phone and

916
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,439
Speaker 6: starts to recruit a little and some of them like, hey, listen,

917
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 6: I need you. You're going to start blah blah blah.

918
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 3: You know so that. But I think fans have a

919
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 3: reason to be upset. I do.

920
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 6: I just they don't. They see their rival. They see

921
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 6: Philadelphia who seems to be always in cap hell finding

922
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 6: a way to sign guys, and you continually sit there

923
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 6: and get nothing done, you know, or they'll trade for guys,

924
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 6: you know.

925
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 3: It's just it's just it's a it's a different.

926
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 6: Way of operating, you know. And it's not for everybody.

927
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 6: It's not for a fan base that's disappointed about how

928
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 6: the season ended.

929
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 2: I'll say this, I will never be a person that

930
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 2: tells fans how they should feel.

931
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 3: Never.

932
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 2: You have a right as a fan. You invest your time,

933
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 2: your money, your resources into being a fan of a team.

934
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 2: So whatever you feel is fair, that's fair for you.

935
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 2: The one thing I will say, and I tend to

936
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 2: be and this is I'm going to take my own

937
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: criticism on this. I tend to tend to be the

938
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 2: most optimistic of people. When you think about pretty much anything,

939
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 2: I always think optimistically, well, this is kind of good,

940
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: so why would you worry about it. The one thing

941
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 2: that keeps playing in my mind is is I think

942
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 2: the Cowboys this offseason. Story of this offseason for me

943
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 2: so far with the Cowboys is you lost your depth.

944
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 2: That's the right because when you look at this team,

945
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 2: how many teams out there in the NFL you could

946
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: probably only name a handful. If that have a top

947
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 2: five player at edge, cornerback, you could maybe say you

948
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 2: got two of those wide receiver, left guard, right guard,

949
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: and then if you wanted to extend out to maybe

950
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 2: top ten quarterback, tight end. So you start thinking about

951
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 2: the level of talent they have, the All Pro level,

952
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl level, They got a lot of talent.

953
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: They probably got as much talent as anybody else. The

954
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 2: question becomes, how are you going to fill in this

955
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 2: depth because inevitably one of those guys I just mentioned

956
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: probably is not going to play a full season this year.

957
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: What do you have as far as depth to be

958
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 2: able to handle that. And that's also where in my

959
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 2: optimistic brain I think, Okay, well, you do still have

960
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 2: that second wave of free agency that happens where you

961
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 2: can get some there's some quality guys out there. Some

962
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 2: of the guys that left from last year that were

963
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 2: on this team, like Gilmore, are still out there and available.

964
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 2: So there's that second wave and third wave of free

965
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 2: agency where you may be able to pick up some

966
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 2: veteran guys that can come in and provide that level

967
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 2: of depth. I have to believe they're going to be

968
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 2: better in the draft this year because their history says

969
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: they don't miss often. If you call last year miss,

970
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 2: then I'm gonna bet on the fact this year they

971
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 2: don't miss, because last year that was a miss. So

972
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 2: when you start thinking about it like that, I can

973
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 2: paint a scenario in my mind where I can be

974
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 2: less upset about what's happening. But again, fans have a

975
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: right to feel what they feel, and I can understand

976
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 2: why some may feel the way they wan.

977
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 7: Well, in my non optimistic.

978
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: Mind, that's all you around. You keep me that other tha.

979
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 7: All I can think about is also next year.

980
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 5: All I can think about is next free agency, and

981
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 5: how I keep hearing that next free agency is supposed

982
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 5: to be even worse than what it currently is right now,

983
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 5: and I can possibly imagine something worse than what it's

984
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 5: been right now. So if it's not happening now, when

985
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 5: because next year sounds like a nightmare.

986
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, But that's the thing though too, if if they're

987
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: keeping these guys who I just mentioned are those top

988
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 2: players around the league, If they're keeping those guys together

989
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 2: as the core of the team, and if they have

990
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 2: another a good draft this year, then again their philosophy

991
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 2: still remains the same. We're not going to go out

992
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,720
Speaker 2: and spend big in free agency. We're gonna draft well,

993
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 2: and we're going to develop those players. And when those

994
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 2: players become free agencies, we're all free agents and have

995
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 2: a much bigger value. We're okay letting them walk because

996
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: we feel confident that we can keep replentishing. That puts

997
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 2: a ton of pressure on your scouting department and on

998
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 2: your on your drafting ability. But so far they've been

999
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 2: pretty good, and they've been good enough to keep a

1000
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 2: really good roster using the strategy.

1001
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 5: But when do you take that next step, because that's

1002
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 5: again they keep replenishing so that it's not worse.

1003
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 7: Here's a question I don't.

1004
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 5: And that's just me saying I'm like, I'm wondering, like,

1005
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 5: what what is the Mason key ingredient for it to

1006
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 5: finally happen?

1007
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this question. Do you think

1008
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 2: the Cowboys as they were constructed last year, were a

1009
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: player or two away from having more success in the playoffs.

1010
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 6: Man, they know they got overwhelmed. I think, yes, I

1011
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 6: think that was a collapse. I think that was just

1012
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 6: an overall team collapse. There's what that was. Defensively, that

1013
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 6: wasn't the same defense that played in won twelve games,

1014
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 6: and they've had some problems against some really good teams.

1015
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 3: Green Bay was a hot team at the end. Green

1016
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 3: Bay was.

1017
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 6: Playing a lot better. They did a great job of

1018
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 6: scheming you. You know, I felt like you got overwhelmed

1019
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 6: in that game. I don't think that was a player away.

1020
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 6: I think that was I think you just got your

1021
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 6: ass kicked.

1022
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 2: And that's where I look at it and say, the

1023
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 2: strategy of going all in, as people say in free agency,

1024
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 2: wouldn't have helped you last year. Because if you were,

1025
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 2: if you say we were a player or two away,

1026
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 2: then okay, maybe you should have gone out at some

1027
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 2: point last year and gone for that big free agent

1028
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 2: or gone for that big player before the trade deadline.

1029
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 2: That wasn't the case last year. Because I agree with you, Brian,

1030
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 2: I don't think they were a player to a way.

1031
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 2: I think that that was a collapse.

1032
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 3: As you say, they couldn't run the ball.

1033
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 6: They couldn't run the ball, and they couldn't stop the run,

1034
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 6: and then all of a sudden, you got it against

1035
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 6: a quarterback. And then they picked the worst time to

1036
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 6: have breakdowns in the secondary. You know that they had

1037
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 6: bus where guys are running free. And so I think

1038
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 6: that part of it that that game, that game was

1039
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 6: not going to be about one player that was that

1040
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 6: was just a total meltdown by the whole entire team

1041
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 6: in that.

1042
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something real quick.

1043
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 6: I think with free agency now, the Cowboys will draft,

1044
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 6: they'll sign college free agents. Those guys would come off

1045
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 6: their board. They'll spend money on that. Watch how much

1046
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 6: money they spend on draftable players that they that they

1047
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 6: circle back on. But I also feel like that they're

1048
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 6: very mindful of the compensatory game. We probably won't see

1049
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 6: anybody sign here until after that compensatory period ends, where

1050
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 6: you can start to sign guys for where it doesn't

1051
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 6: cost you compensatory.

1052
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 2: Picks because they may eat those picks next year for sure.

1053
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 3: Exactly.

1054
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 6: So I when it's after the draft, yeah, I'm not

1055
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,919
Speaker 6: sure it's it's well after the draft. There's a there's

1056
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 6: a I gotta get the date of it. But I

1057
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 6: know they're very mindful of compensatory picks, and you do

1058
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 6: not want to jeopardize that because.

1059
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 2: They got some pretty good You would think they have

1060
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 2: some pretty good. Yeah, compensatory they will should be coming

1061
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 2: their way.

1062
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 6: They will and that and that, and they don't want

1063
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 6: to sign anybody now, They'll just they'll draft, they'll sign

1064
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 6: undrafted free agents. Those guys are generally on their board.

1065
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,919
Speaker 6: That's the first place they start. They might have a fifth, sixth,

1066
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,959
Speaker 6: seventh round guys on the board. Those are the first

1067
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 6: guys they'll go after, and they'll get that done and

1068
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 6: then maybe supplement with some other veteran players after after

1069
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 6: that compensitory period. Ghost by the wayside, all.

1070
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 2: Right, we appreciate you guys. Jonas will be back next week.

1071
